Manchester City vs Mancheter Utd on Wednesday Night (UK time).
What's your thoughts on this game?
I don't bet personally, but I'd love to wager some money on city taking this one to town. The last few manchester derbies (including the league cup) have been thrilling games.
By far City's best buy last summer was Silva. He's not only provided top assists and goals since he came, but he's one of those special players who can seek perfect diagonal/reverse passes and play at the highest of internetional levels, plus he is very young too so that was a brilliant buy.
Johnson has also impressed me beyond any expectations. Say what you like about him, but 2 goals in 2 England appearances and a few goals for city has made him a goal thread and real entertaining player.
Dejong looks class too for that position. Just as good, if not better than Mikel at chelsea and mascherano from liverpool last season.
I think the only weak party of city's game is gareth barry. Not sure what he brings to the team other than experience and a useful squad player. He's not a big enough threat upfront, completely one-footed, and that germany game really pointed out some truths about his finess and pace.
Utd look oddly inconsistent this season (I say that as a Utd fan). Berbatov and Rooney both look like they can fall off the radar at any time. I read on BBC that a lot of the 1st team are sick with the flu but those rumours always come up and then they end up playing. Still, massively over dependant on Scholes and Giggs, Ferdinand lacks good cover. I hope fabio or raffa plays, they are so entertaining to watch also.
I'd go for 2-1 city. Pretty sure Tevez is going to haunt the away fans.
