Man City vs Man Utd tips

Our Bet Builder selections: Double chance – Draw/Man Utd, Bruno Fernandes to score, Casemiro to be carded and Erling Haaland 2+ shots on target.

Here’s why we’ve made those selections..

• Double chance – Draw/Man Utd: United have won the last two times they’ve visited the Etihad and are actually unbeaten in their last four games against City – inside 90 minutes anyway. United have been made into a joke team so far this season, yet sit a point and few places above toiling rivals.
• Bruno Fernandes to score: Got off the mark for the season with that 97th minute penalty winner against Burnley. That coming after a miss at Fulham in league game prior. Usually man for big occasion and has three goals in 11 league games against Cityzens.
• Casemiro to be carded: Booked in two of last three games after yellow at Craven Cottage then on international duty with Brazil against Chile. Sat out second game on break due to suspension but should come in from start here and midfield battle key.
• Erling Haaland 2+ shots on target: Norwegian superstar has been on fire and added to it with FIVE goals in one international game when away in break. Started season well too and obviously main man for City.

On Monday, NASA (Florida’s Kennedy Space Center seen in April) said its annual public Lunabotic challenge is one of several student challenges related to Artemis, and that next year’s seeks mechanical robots with an ability to construct berms out of lunar regolith on the Moon’s surface.

Sept. 8 (UPI) — NASA on Monday announced its 2026 Lunabotics challenge that seeks a team or person to create a robot able to move about and build things on the moon’s surface.

The challenge comes as the space agency gears up for future lunar activity as part of its Artemis program.

NASA officials said its annual challenge — held since 2010 — is one of several student challenges associated with Artemis, and that next year’s event seeks mechanical robots with an ability to construct berms out of lunar regolith by using loose, fragmental material found on the moon’s surface.

“We are excited to continue the Lunabotics competition for universities as NASA develops new moon-to-Mars technologies for the Artemis program,” Robert Mueller, senior technologist at NASA, said in a statement.

Officials at America’s space agency said berms will be critical during lunar missions as blast protection during landings and launches. They added that, among other uses, berms also will play a role in shading for cryogenic propellant tank farms and radiation shielding around nuclear power plants.

“Excavating and moving regolith is a fundamental need to build infrastructure on the moon and Mars, and this competition creates 21st century skills in the future workforce,” said Mueller, also co-founder and chief judge of the Lunabotics competition.

NASA said the competition will provide hands-on experiences in computer coding, engineering, manufacturing, fabricating and other crucial tech skills.

Officials will notify selected teams to begin the challenge, the top 10 teams will be invited to bring their robot creations to the final competition in Florida in May at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex’s Artemis Arena.

The team scoring the most points will receive the Lunabotics Grand Prize and participate in an exhibition-style event at NASA Kennedy.

An in-person qualifying event will be held May 12-17 at the University of Central Florida’s Space Institute’s Lab in Orlando.

The NASA challenge launched Monday comes after last week’s announcement that a separate NASA competition is seeking a special space wheel in a design by an American inventor or team.

Meanwhile, interested participants can submit applications via NASA’s portal starting Monday and find other information in the challenge guidebook.
