WDF Pre-Game: Manchester City FC vs Manchester United FC - Game 36

For what do we call this pandemonium of an epic derby collision between these two juggernauts we call Manchester United and Manchester City...We shall call it the "SIEGE OF MANCHESTER". In the town of Manchester, United has always been the neighbour o show of his fancy red Jaguar. He washes it, wax it and speeds up and down town while his neighbour, City looks over next door in envy. Nut now it seems as if the tables have turned. City's recent hard work in the office has earned him a promotion and a new company car; an Aston Martin. And it seems as if United isn't the only kid on the block with a fast car. For so long United has been the dominant team in Manchester, title after title. Just a couple weeks ago there was an impression among all of us that even with a United that is missing a lot of tools in the box, were still able still some how going to pull off another Premier League title. United's tie against Everton last week with a combination of a City win over Wolvehampton last week has reduced that five point table lead to THREE!! I don't think there has been a derby to this scale between to strong teams. Already between these two teams there has been three lead changes on the table. This ia a straight up inner city battle for the title. United have won three of the past five meetings between them and CIty. United have the history but les not forget about the last meeting between these two teams ended in City blowing up United 6 - 1and City have been in very good form for most of this season. SInce that big loss in October, United have filled in there defensive holes...or somewhat have. It is more like filling in a pipe leak with some gum, it will work for a short while but it is not practical and will not last for very long. And on that note I honestly think that is what this game will come down too; will Manchester United's defence be strong and hold their ground or will they be cut up by the Manchester City front line with their diagonal runs.

Man City Key Player - Carlos Tevez: If there was any man that could bring down the axe on United's title dreams it would be Carlos Tevez. Tevez has scored against his former team with two different teams. Tevez has also been looking in good form scoring four goals in has last three games. This includes his hat-trick against Norwich. Look for him to test Rio Ferdinand with his pace.

Man United Key Player - Wayne Rooney: Easy and simple when Rooney plays well United plays well. Especially with United's lack of creativity in the centre of the park they will need Rooney to play his regular role of midfielder and attacker. He has also been in good form. Rooney has five goals in his pas four games. Even if he doesn't score expect him to create space for Danny Welbeck and Javier Hernandez, because of his movement on and off the ball.
