Manchester City took a tough loss last weekend to West Ham while Manchester United were able to conjure up some of their old magic to rescue a point as Chelsea looked to take off with the Premier League title already. It will likely be looked back on as one of the most important fixtures of the year and you can expect it to have some serious ramifications come the end of the season - particularly if Manchester United can actually turn things around and really start pushing the two top sides.

The Manchester Derby is always one of the most anticipated fixtures of the entire year and this years first iteration shows no signs of slowing that down by any stretch of the imagination. You can bank on City thinking they’ve got United’s number here and they do go in as the odds-on favourites according to the bookmakers.
As it currently stands, you can back Manchester City to win the match with a 1.85 price tag, you can also expect that price to fluctuate a bit as the late money will probably come in for them as we get closer to the kick-off.
The draw is a 3.80 margin and you reckon that United would probably be satisfied with another draw here against some of the best opposition that the English Premier League has to offer. You have to wonder how much they will be shaken up by the West Ham result and United may feel as though City are vulnerable.
It has been quite a while since United were trading at 4.0 to get a result - even away - and this one is coming at a good time for them as they will be bursting with confidence following their best performance of the year against Jose Mourinho’s Chelsea side.
It wasn’t so much the draw itself but the manner in which it came that really made Manchester United fans celebrate just that much more. The never-say-die attitude that defined the Alex Ferguson era (and was conspicuously absent during the David Moyes one) really showed up as Robin Van Persie pounced on the rebound after a corner to lash home and send Old Trafford into a tizzy.
