Football, Premier League, Round 6: Manchester United vs Manchester City

Manchester City will be expecting nothing but a tough match against its city rival Manchester United in what should be an exciting match on Sunday. Machester United, unbeaten in for games, will surely rely on its home strength and fan support as it tries to propel itself to the top spot of the Barclay´s Premier League.

The Red´s, currently in second place, hope that key-defender Rio Ferdinand will return to the squad on Sunday. The star - stopper has been hampered by a groin problem is facing a race against time to be fit for the derby against Manchester City on Sunday, after missing the 1-0 Champions League win over Besiktas in Istanbul. If Ferdinand is unable to play on Sunday, Jonathan Evans is likely to continue to deputize. The young Northern Ireland international was again solid against Besiktas alongside Nemanja Vidic in the heart of the United defence.
However, even if Ferdinand is unable to play, Manchester will go into the derby with a solid track record having not lost a game on home soil so far this season.

Manchester City, however, is riding its own wave of confidence, after defeating Arsenal 4-2 in their last match. Prior to that City has won all of this season Premier League games and certainly hopes to prolong its hot streak on Sunday. City´s most dangerous player might well be Emmanuel Adebayor, who has scored in his last two visits to Old Trafford in the Premier League.

Tip: United have won 23, drawn two and lost just one of their last 26 games at Old Trafford. Even a impressively consistent Manchester City can´t overcome United´s formidable home strenght.
