This weekend United will play later again after Pool... If Pool win they will go top again...

United need to win this badly cos I belief they can beat Wigan... So if they can get 3 points here, and another 3 at Wigan... The title will almost be in the bag...

Lets hope they can do it as City are back in form and City being City, would love nothing more than to spoil United's day... You can bet they will run faster and tackle harder for this one... United have to be ready for them...

May

9 Man City (H)

13 Wigan (A)

TWO'S KOMPANY . . . on Sunday Manchester will not big enough for both City and United

TWO'S KOMPANY . . . on Sunday Manchester will not big enough for both City and United

The City midfielder believes his team are in great shape going into Saturday's clash against Champions League finalists United. He insists the Eastlands outfit have come on strong after being knocked out of the UEFA Cup quarter-final by Hamburg.

The Belgian international, 23, said: “We have increased our level dramatically and players are coming back fit. “We have shown what a good side we are. Mark Hughes’ ideas can pay off when the personnel is there.

“We are in a better situation now to prepare. United are in our way and we have to go there and get a result. “You have to respect what they are doing. They have proved to be one of the best teams in the world. "But on Sunday they are just another Manchester team like us.”

City boss Hughes is equally as upbeat. He added: “Sometimes against United you sense that some teams are actually beaten before the start of the game. “I certainly don’t see that being a problem at the weekend. We are strong, and that’s reassuring for everybody.

"We know we can cope with the intensity of the game. “The confidence comes from winning and knowing you can stand up to the challenge. I think we are at that point now.”

Last time out: Ronaldo inexplicably handles a Wayne Rooney corner for his second yellow card during United's 1-0 win at Eastlands

Last time out: Ronaldo inexplicably handles a Wayne Rooney corner for his second yellow card during United's 1-0 win at Eastlands. Ronaldo claimed he heard the referee's whistle and was trying to block the ball to stop play.

Ronaldo has been sent off twice against City in his United career...

Rafael Benitez

Come on City - do it for me: Rafael Benitez wants the blue half of Manchester to win today's derby

Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez will be cheering on Manchester City this afternoon after a 3-0 win at West Ham took his team back to the top of the table and kept alive their faint hopes of winning the Premier League.

Captain Steven Gerrard scored twice and substitute Ryan Babel hit a late third to put Liverpool level on points with champions Manchester United and ahead of their arch rivals on goal difference, having played two games more.

But Benitez knows that if United take seven points from their next three matches — today’s derby against City, Wednesday’s visit to Wigan and the home fixture against Arsenal at lunchtime on Saturday — Sir Alex Ferguson’s club will close out their 18th championship before Liverpool next kick a ball, on Sunday at West Bromwich Albion.

Benitez hopes the possibility of a Europa League place will spur City to the result which would provide another twist in the title race.

The Spaniard said: ‘We’ve done our job. We needed to get three points to
put them under pressure. Now we’ll be cheering and supporting Manchester City and see what happens. It’s a derby. You can make a mistake. It will be difficult for them against City.

‘Getting into Europe would be a good achievement for City. They’ve had some problems this season. I say, “Come on, you want to finish as high as you can”.’

frankly, I am just sick of him.. He is just deflecting heat from his ass. He did not do well in the first half of season, and now he is wishing MU collapse. I just wish all his "well-wishes" for MU turn on him big time..

iceFatboy SG

the last time City played MU, Rafael did well against Robinho.. unsure this time, what will happen..

despite the fact, MU is oozing with confidence, I do hope that we get a quick goal, settle in, and take care of business. Importantly, no injuries or stupid cards...

Pitot SG

anderson + rafael or fabio irritating the hell outta him for the whole match.
