Manchester United – Manchester City

Bitter rivals Manchester United and Manchester City will lock horns at Old Trafford on Saturday. A performance similar to the one they turned in against Liverpool could see the Manchester United board pulling the plug on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s tenure as manager. Yet another stoppage-time rescue act from Cristiano Ronaldo and co. helped keep the Red Devils’ Champions League campaign on track. It came quite close to going off the rails as they went behind twice but the game ultimately finished 2-2.

As for Manchester City, a 4-1 win over Club Brugge was a reaffirmation of their attacking quality. The Cityzens needed that win afterae 2-0 loss to Crystal Palace last weekend.

It’s a classic six-pointer, with City currently ahead of United by just three points, and the derby promises to be the most exciting encounter in the Premier League this weekend. Manchester United are unbeaten in their last four Premier League meetings with Manchester City. They have won three and drawn one. You can’t write  United off, but it is going to be a very tough 90 minutes for Solskjaer’s men against a City side desperate for a win.
