PREVIEW
The early table says there is nothing between the two Manchester sides. Both played 4 – with 7 points. City are ahead not because of the alphabet – but because of a one goal better goal difference.
It’s a fairly safe bet to say the two teams won’t be so close come 6pm tonight – there has only been one draw in the last 20 Manchester derbies which is quite a stat and doesn’t make the 3.4 the draw look that appeling on BETDAQ.
Often these Super Sunday heavyweight don’t live up to the billing, but we should see a lively encounter at the Etihad this afternoon with both teams keen to put an early stamp on the Premier League, which so far at least, is proving as competitive as the pre-season odds suggested it might.
Team news:
Manchester City (from): Hart, Pantilimon, Zabaleta, Richards, Kompany, Nastasic, Lescott, Boyata, Kolarov, Silva, Nasri, Milner, Navas, Fernandinho, Toure, Garcia, Rodwell, Aguero, Dzeko, Negredo, Jovetic.
Manchester United (from): De Gea, Lindegaard, Amos, Rafael, Fabio, Jones, Smalling, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Buttner, Valencia, Giggs, Carrick, Cleverley, Fellaini, Anderson, Kagawa, Nani, Young, Welbeck, Van Persie, Rooney, Hernandez.
We’re still not convinced that Manchester United are totally settled under the Moyes regime despite a convincing opening win in the Champions League and give City the edge today.
It’s one or the other. The stats say it can’t be a draw!
