Big Derby game again, no doubt that this two teams are best in England this season, they will decide league title and now they play in FA cup. In lat game Manchester City won easy against Liverpool showing that they are one class above big club like Liverpool, they win 6:1 against manchester in last game and Manchester lost last two against Blackburn and Newcastle

i would bet on this match as man united are having a bad period this times. my pick here will be the over on goals, and a home win for mancester. dont think it will have much history as a match. ad the last loss of manchester was very bad for them.

manchester city plays very well in this season. last two games they have won against manchester united. first game was awfull for united. I think motivation of manchester city's players are more and they can win cup in this season. they have great chance. So my opinion in this game is-Home.

The most anticipating match in English football is just around the corner. Man City aim to upset their city rival Man Utd one more time as the two teams meet at Etihad Stadium. Mancini’s men ended their misery run in Premier League by a resounding 3-0 victory over Liverpool to extend their lead on top. However, the Italian boss will not have Balotelli (knee), Barry (suspension) and Toure brothers who have to report for African Cup of Nations duty with Ivory Coast.

Man Utd, on the other hands, heading to this match on the back of their two consecutive defeats in Premier League. The Red Devils lost 3-0 to Newcastle just four days after losing 3-2 at home to bottom boys Blackburn. Chris Smalling is still out for the visitors so P. Jones will partner with Ferdinand in defence while Lindegaard is likely to continue in goal.

Despite losing couple of players, Man City remain slightly favorite in this game. The 3-0 loss to Newcastle is surely a morale hurt for Ferguson’s men, coupling with their recent 6-1 home loss to Man City would increase more pressure on their shoulders. Besides last year’s 1-0 loss to Man City (in FA Cup), the Devils have lost another 2-1 at this stadium in Carling Cup in 2010 with Tevez scoring two goals for the City.

Mancini are waiting for the fitness of Edin Dzeko and Samir Nasri. If these two can feature, they will lessen the importance of the missing players significantly.
