Form Guide: United’s midweek Champions League triumph over Arsenal was the fifth straight win since losing the FA Cup semi-final to Everton on penalties. The Reds will be desperate to avenge last year’s 2-1 home defeat to City but more importantly three points would leave the champions needing a maximum of four points from the remaining three games to retain the title (86 points is the highest possible total Liverpool can achieve). City come to Old Trafford on the back of four straight wins including an impressive 2-1 away victory over United’s FA Cup conquerors Everton, only their second away league win this campaign. Mark Hughes' men currently lie eighth and are battling with West Ham, Fulham and Spurs for seventh place in the league and with it, Europa League football next season. (Source : Manutd.com)
From my point of view, I think Manchester United can win this, they are back in form after beating Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium in midweek. The title is United's to lose. By the time United takes on City, Liverpool MAY be on top of the league on goal difference but played 2 games more than United. All the best to the Red Devils and destroy the blue heart of Manchester.
Prediction : 3-0 to United. I also predict that Dimitar Berbatov and Cristiano Ronaldo will be one of the scorers today.
Previous result against Manchester City this season :
1. Manchester City 0-1 Manchester United (Barclays Premier League)
Wayne Rooney, the only scorer of the game. I remember only Ryan Giggs and Wayne Rooney is playing in front and took a corner kick , passed around during the 89th minute while the other players stayed behind and defend. Manchester City nearly equalised in the dying minutes but it was well saved by the flying dutchman Edwin van der Sar. Cristiano Ronaldo was sent off by Howard Webb after the referee spotted him handing the ball. Suprisingly, Rafael Da Silva kept Robinho quiet throughout the game. Will Rafael play again ?
Previous results against Manchester City last season:
1. Manchester United 1-2 Manchester City (Barclays Premier League)
2. Manchester City 1-0 Manchester United (Barclays Premier League)
