Manchester City vs Manchester United
Manchester City welcome the Red Devils to the Etihad on Saturday; and the football world fully expect the Sky Blues to lift the title, right under their rivals’ noses!
The atmosphere at the Etihad will be electric; and although nothing will be changed by the result, as far as English football games go, this is a monster. While the Mersey clash is styled ‘the Friendly Derby,’ this one is anything but.
The betting odds will heavily favour City and Jose would like nothing more than to crash Pep’s celebration party.
If the Red Devils are to give their following fans something to cheer, they have to get it right at both ends of the pitch. We can expect the hosts to dominate possession and play their brand of scintillating football, but it could be a frustrating afternoon for Guardiola if United’s player of the season, David de Gea, is on song.
United shocked Liverpool recently with a tactical master-class, soaking up pressure at the back, while Marcus Rashford scored two smart breakaway goals. Top-scorer Romelu Lukaku is a threat on the ground and in the air, but he has fewer goals (15) than City’s Raheem Sterling (16) and Sergio Aguero (21).
And, of course, City’s strikers’ supply comes from the world-class distribution and guile of Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva.
City fans know the Blue Moon will be rising over Manchester soon enough, and most likely on Saturday night.
