Ford Monday Night Football: Man City v Man Utd
7pm, Mon, Sky Sports 1 HD & Sky 3D
If I was a Man United fan I'd be very worried right now. Firstly they're not playing well and secondly, Man City are very dangerous when they click.
They might have a three-point lead, but I still don't think they've been playing well. They lost to Wigan and never looked like winning the game and against both QPR and Aston Villa the first goal was a very dubious penalty.
Then the 4-4 draw with Everton was extraordinary. I'm a big fan of Everton, but they are not a free-scoring football team. If you score two goals at home against them then you think you've won.
I thought very little in football could surprise me, but seeing Man United letting it slip from 3-1 and 4-2 was a major shock (as was what happened in the Nou Camp on Tuesday night, by the way). The league title should be over, but if Man City win on Monday they will suddenly become the favourites.
City have played great when the pressure has been off. Now the pressure is back on again. That's the main issue Roberto Mancini has got to sort out.
But I still think they will win this game. The momentum is with them and in Carlos Tevez and Sergio Aguero they have the best strike pair in world football. They're perfect for each other.
City will play 4-4-2 with the two up front causing chaos, but I can only see Man United playing 4-5-1. They played 4-4-2 against Everton and Paul Scholes and Michael Carrick were too exposed in the middle. Everton had too much of the ball and it became like a basketball match.
I think he'll put Ryan Giggs in midfield for his experience and leave out Danny Welbeck with Wayne Rooney playing up front on his own. The two wingers will still be able to hurt Man City.
City smashed them at Old Trafford and in a way the FA Cup game was a smash-and-grab for United because City played for so long with 10 men.
I think City are about to blow it wide open and become big favourites to win the league.
PAUL PREDICTS: 3-1
