Game 26 - Manchester United vs Manchester City

Manchester United have lost the aura of invincibility that surrounded them in recent months as they went 29 games without losing in the Premier League. Their shock 2-1 defeat at the hands of rock-bottom Wolves did nothing to shatter their confidence.

The blue half of Manchester meanwhile seem to have overcome a bad pitch are once again looking like genuine title contenders. City will look to capitalize in the absence of Rio Ferdinand and victory here would put them within two points points of their Mancunian rivals however the Blues have picked up just two points in their last two away games.

Stats are in United's favor since they have won 12 of 13 home games. But this game may prove to be too much for them and they may find it difficult to penetrate through Mancini's defensive tactics. I am predicting an entertaining 1-1 draw.
