Manchester derby at 16:00 GMT. :notangel:

 

MATCH FACTS

 

Head-to-head

  • Manchester City have won four of the last six league derbies, although neither of the last two.
  • United have won just one of their last five league visits to the Etihad Stadium (D1, L3).
  • City are looking for their 50th competitive win in the Manchester derby (W49, D51, L70).
  • There were just two shots on target in this fixture back in October. The match ended 0-0.

Manchester City

  • City have won just one of their last five Premier League games (D1, L3).
  • They have scored four goals in three of their last six home matches, but just two in total in the other three.
  • Manuel Pellegrini's side have scored 39 league goals at home this season, 10 more than any other top-flight team has managed prior to the weekend.
  • City's tally of 51 points after 29 games is their lowest at this stage of a Premier League season for seven years.
  • Forty two of City's 51 points (82%) have come against sides currently in the bottom half.

Manchester United

  • United have taken just one point from a possible nine in their last three away games, losing to both Sunderland and West Brom.
  • They have won just one of their last eight away games (D3, L4).
  • Only Wayne Rooney (18) has been directly involved in more goals than Anthony Martial (16) in all competitions for United this season.
  • Marcus Rashford has been involved in three of Manchester United's last four league goals, scoring twice and setting up another.

2+ goal win would put us in 5th spot. LET'S GO! :fear:

Supporting City tonight. Their win means United go further away from top 4, which cements LVG exit and Mourinho's return to EPL.

If Mourinho takes over United, then Manchester derbies will be epic next season. Pep vs Mou will resume.

LVG will leave after this season irrespective of where we finish ...

Well, you should post whenever you are free. More discussion is always good. XdCAUWA.gif

 

Funny thing is, despite having mediocre season, we won the most points in matches vs the big 6.

 

 

But our record against bottom half is very weird.

 

Swansea: WL

Palace: D

Norwich: L

Sunderland: WL

Newcastle: DD

Villa: W

 

More confident about facing City than Newcastle. vdYyi2N.gifPXTZFTc.gif 2 wins against them would have made huge difference.

Johan Cruijff has died at age 68.


On March 24 2016 Johan Cruyff (68) died peacefully in Barcelona, surrounded by his family after a hard fought battle with cancer. It’s with great sadness that we ask you to respect the family’s privacy during their time of grief.

Just came here to pay my respect to him...I am no football fan or anything like it...but I was very inspired by him when i was young...remember watching him in some old documentary on sports in school life and was so inspired by him that had gone and purchase a football and use to practise on my own...it continued for quite some time...till that enthu died i guess but much thanks to this sir to give a meaning to life in some way.

 

God bless his soul.
