The Manchester derby is going to be a game that will come with a big shocker, I believe Manchester United will come out stronger in that encounter, a win in the champions league will make them play with all they've got just to be the top dog of this derby.
Manchester City have been dominating more in this derby but this season they don't look that active Manchester City they used to be as of last season and even 3-4 seasons ago, goals hardly comes with the style of play which is not that strong as we know them to be.
I think their (Man City) style of play is being countered by some of the opponents they played against and if United add more pressure and play as a unit without being greedy when it comes to goal scoring, I believe they can get a win against Manchester City.
Why the hype, you want me to believe that Manchester United will get a win against Manchester City? Then this must be a very big joke.
Manchester City are better than Manchester United currently, though City are without some certain players that will put them ahead of Manchester United in the game.
And even if they want to see themselves getting a win at home against Manchester United, they have to come harder than they did against Copenhagen.
Akanji was sent of after a reckless tackle last week if not the previous one. He will be absent but he will get a good replacement for himself still, Pep Guardiola should have that in mind!
I can't hype a team that's not up to the task, Manchester United are not consistent so hyping them won't be necessary at the moment, and I don't want you to believe if the United team can beat the Citizens in that encounter is just that you not seeing it from my own point of view. They might be pretty bad based on performance and Manchester City are just too good to lose any game but that would be a step up to beat City.
Don't use players who are not present to judge a game, and who would have thought Arsenal could beat City in their first leg of the season? This season is full of surprises and we should expect more to come, as for City not having players to make them win as you say it, thats not an excuse if Man UTD get a win.
I still don't think you're observing the way City are handling business this season, is very dull, they don't have that speed of getting business done on like last season. Let's see how Sunday would look like and I still believe United will get a win.
