United (H) - Sun 6th March, 16:30 | Pre-Match Thread

I'd love a front 6 of:

Foden. Grealish. Mahrez

Gundo. Rodri. Silva


Our best 6 players at keeping the ball.

We control the game and Grealish to score the winner in the first half. 1-0

Has Pep started talking up Rag Neck and his team of world beaters yet.

We are a better football team, we have better players so should win on paper.

It’s at the Etihad which means :

De Gea will be at his absolute best.
We’ll make cross after cross after cross which will be cleared each time.
They will have 2 attacks and 2 shots on target and score both.
City 1-2 United

I hope i’m wrong

De Gea is due for a stinker - I am sticking pins in his voodoo doll to make sure that comes to fruition for this game.

Pep has once again made it clear that as far as he's concerned it's just another 3 PTS and the Derby means nothing to him. A shame, as like spurs this is cup final time for the rags nowadays.

3 points please, that is all.

Exactly how I would go too. Sterling and KDB lose the ball a lot, which will make us vulnerable on the counter

11am, today, the U18s play the derby and it is live on City+ as a nice pre-cursor to tomorrow's main event.

Its a derby and we are at home. Not an advantage of any kind as stats will show. But with better players in any position we should win this one.

Normally I wouldn’t mind the starting 10 in front of Ederson. Central defence is clear and I’m totally fine with Stones and Laporte. Walker doesn’t seem to get much game time and I’m not sure why.

Hope Grealish loves a Manc derby. Foden will tell him in a few words that include red and bastards

Any way will do asking as we get the 3 points

It's not the getting beat by the scum that will bother me it's the fact that we'll let the dippers in

winning the league feels better than beating the scum. Loosing to them feels much worse than not winning the league.

Its our biggest weakness.
