In the top of the league clash, the Manchester Derby is here this weekend. Man City are currently at the top of the table and Man Utd. are second in the table. Both teams have played very well so far this season and look to be odds on favorites to win the title. Who do you think will win the Manchester derby this time around? Something tells me this time it could be Man City!! Cheers! Ram

I think this gonna be tough derby match,maybe we can call it "derby of the season".As we all know, both of them are on top of the table with City lead by 2 points.If they win or draw,city will continue to lead while Man United shall win in order to take a lead.Both of them are also tired after champion league match played on mid week.Both of them also really strong, for me Man United still favorite to win,looking at history and their mentality proven stronger than any other clubs in EPL.One thing is they must not appoint Ferdinand this time, since his speed and control is degrade and City has many quick strickers. Fergie must give trust to young squad thgis time around.Maybe if rooney play,he can do something as well.

Yes, this is really going to a be a tough match. What is encouraging is that for the first time in a long time, Man City is not playing with defensive midfielders against a top club. Today they have gone with only one in Gareth Barry, so it is going to be good and entertaining. Cheers! Ram

Yes, the Ballotelli goal was special. I liked the T-Shirt "Why always me" even more, actually showed an element of humor in him. Unfortunately the referee does not seem to like humour and hence booked him with a yellow card. Cheers! Ram

well, I am watching the game now. It's still on first half, temporary result is 0-1 for Man City the goal scored by Balotelli. I observed even though Man United win the possesion of the ball but their attacks are lack of creativity while City counter attack is more effective.Balotelli again shows his talent with great goal,soft shoot but nice placement in the corner. Then the goal celebration was unique when he showed his shirt written "why always me",this can be positive or negative meaning haha..he is one of the naughty boy indeed. Rooney is really dominant but still no great chance yet.. Looking forward more interesting match at the second half of the match, City still has Nasri at the bench..

I have to say that I expect United to win in a game which will be full of goals. I have seen how City is playing against giants, and they are not performing well. United, which haven't pulled up a convincing performance on Tuesday, are a giant and they will know how to handle this derby. What is going to happen, we will see.

Last year, against big clubs Man City were defensive. They were only trying to save the match. But this year so far they seem to be more adventurous and feel more confident of their abilities in these big matches. So I actually expect them to attack in this match and go for a win. I also expect a lot of goals in this match. Cheers! Ram

I was right only in one aspect, that the game was full of goals. I didn't see this result coming from any means.

I do not think any one foresaw this result. The good thing is that I expected Man City to get something from the game and bet that in olbg. But no one really expected a 6-1 thumping win for Man City. Cheers! Ram

Yes, this is going to be the match of the weekend and probably the season. Already the first half has just completed. Man City is leading Man Utd. by 1-0. But I expect Man Utd. to fight back. Cheers! Ram
