Manchester United vs Manchester City

Tomorrow is a massive day, not just for the Premier League title race but for football supporters in Manchester. If you have ever lived in Manchester then you will know that tomorrows result is very important. Neither supporters will want to be on the loosing side. Tomorrow we will see Manchester United take on Manchester City.


United captain Gary Neville is in the squad for tomorrow's game after recovering from a foot injury but I don't expect him to start, he will probably be on the bench. Carlos Tevez, Paul Scholes and Dimitar Berbatov could be recalled into the starting line-up after starting Man United's semi-final win over Arsenal on the bench.


Manchester City's Shaun Wright Phillips has been struggling with an ankle injury and it really depends on who you believe when it comes to his fitness. The BBC/Goal.com say that he is doubtful but SkySportsNews say that he is fit.


City are without Daniel Sturridge (thigh injury), Dietmar Hamann (knee injury), Benjani (thigh injury) and Craig Bellamy (knee injury).


Liverpool have gone to the top of the Premier League table (only on goal difference) after beating West Ham but a win would take us back upto the top and with a game still in hand.


Man United: Van der Sar, Foster, Kuszczak, O'Shea, Rafael, Neville, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evans, Evra, Ronaldo, Nani, Anderson, Carrick, Scholes, Fletcher, Park, Giggs, Rooney, Tevez, Berbatov, Macheda.
Man City: Given, Richards, Onuoha, Dunne, Bridge, Elano, Ireland, De Jong, Kompany, Robinho, Bojinov, Caicedo, Garrido, Fernandes, Evans, Etuhu, Clayton, McGivern, Berti, Hart, Petrov, Zabaleta.


You never know what is going to happen during a derby match, City did the double over us last season. In one of the games City won 1-0 without having a single shot on target. City have been awful away from home this season but over the past few weeks they have been slightly better so it will be difficult but hopefully we will win it.
