Man City v Man United

 

This Manchester derby could not get any bigger. Technically Man United could win the title this weekend by winning and Chelsea losing and what better way to claim it than in a local derby. If they cannot claim the trophy this weekend then it could go down to the match at Stamford Bridge for the decider on the 9th.

Man City have not had a great season and it does show in their home record. They have not scored since New years day a dreadful statistic. They have also been in the media this week for all the wrong reasons including allegations of training ground bust ups. For this game they are definitely without Micah Richards who has possibly been the best player for City. Debeasley and Johnson are both doubts for this game but should be fit.

Manchester United have had a great season and sit atop the English Premier League. After their mid week exit in the Champions League they will now concentrate on claiming the domestic title and preparing for the FA Cup Final. Manchester United travel across City with a few injuries including Gary Neville, Silvestre, and Ji-Sung Park.  Nenjami Vidic and Rio Ferdinand will be available for Alex Ferguson to pick at the back and Louis Saha will be looking for a fitness check prior to the match.

Manchester derby’s are always exciting occasions. City have been dogged by issues on and off the pitch. We predict that United will run out for a comfortable win to retain their domestic supremacy with a 4-1 away win.
