Manchester Vs Manchester

Yes again it comes and very much early. FA cup 3rd round clash between Manchester united and their noisy neighbors . It was quite surprising for me that these two clubs were drawn together. The anticipation levels of this game is very huge. United has won 67 times and city 44 times and 59 has been drawn when these two teams met so far. And if we take last four both won 2 each . But what happened on 23rd Oct 2011 will not be forgotten by both fans an humiliating 6-1 defeat to united at old trafford .

When both team is compared city have a strong team , but this match will be much relying on the mind games between both. The derby has become an important game for the fans now.

Ferguson's side is with lot of injuries. The injury to Vidic is a great blow for united. He used to be a rock in the defense . Smalling and Evans are also out due to injury. City also will also be playing without Toure and Balettoli . Barry also will not be available due to suspension. But both sides will take this match has a prestige issue , nothing less than a win for both

United is coming back after two straight defeats with 6 goals in their net in last two matches. City is coming confidently with a comprehensive win over Liverpool. City are definitely the favours this time. They didn't taste a defeat at Etihad stadium this season, but Alex side always have the history of doing the impossible. This is actually the third time they are going to meet this season . First one was community shield which united won 3-0 then came 6-1 won in favor of city.
