Manchester United, the Red Devils, have won 12 of the 20 campaigns. Even if United slip up at City’s well-guarded citadel Sunday, Ferguson's side will still believe they can prevail in the long-run. It’s in their DNA.
But the Citizens, who are just three points behind, are likely to endanger the Red Devils' dominance today - a win for the Citizens today will equalize the points, while a loss will further stretch the Red Devils lead by another six points. So the Citizens muct cash in the opportunity today, othwrsiw chasing the Red Devils will become difficult.
With Chelsea weakened by internal bleeding, the Manchester rivalry will certainly define the Premier League this season and probably for a period beyond.
Whatever happens when the neighbours and rivals storm into each other this afternoon, United will be back again and again. It’s in their nature. When it comes to silverware, Ferguson’s men are hunters and gatherers.
And remember: Nobody chases down champions quite like Manchester United do.
For today's match, City will be without the services of Jack Rodwell and James Milner due to hamstring injuries. Micah Richards, John Guidetti and Aleksandar Kolarov are also out due to injuries. Gael Clichy will also be out. in the other camp, United will miss Tom Cleverley, Nemanja Vidic, Antonio Valencia, Shinji Kagawa, Nani and Anderson will due to injuries.
The Manchester Derby is scheduled for Sunday, 9 December 2012 at 13:30 GMT.
