Clash of the Titans


The most famous derby clash in the world of football is on Wednesday evening. It's between the two cities from North west England. Manchester City face their bitter rivals Manchester United on wednesday night's EPL match. From my view, I think United will come on top as their results and their current form in all the leagues are too good for City to handle. However, there are some sort of problems and injury concern with United. Giggs seems to be ruled out from the match and the other veteran, Paul Scholes is likely to pair along with both Carrick, who didn't start on the weekend's match against Wolves, and Darren Fletcher. Most probably, Nani is too doubtful to start and Park ji Sung, whose brace helped United to clear Wolves defence, is ready for the derby clash. One more concern is whether Berbatov is in the starting line up, since he is suffering from a minor flu. It'll be a hard ask for the new star Hernandez to manage all the pressure.
               On another side, Tevez is in hot form and undoubtedly misses his united partner, Wayne rooney nowadays. New signing, Mario Balotelli will not start and David Silva is start along side with Barry and Johnson. However, the defensive stats of both the teams doesn't sound good. United haven't tasted an away win so far and City's defensive record is too bad. Having spent more money last season, city were unable to qualify for the Champions League spot and this season too is not going well for them.
