The Manchester Derby,who will win?

DERBY DERBY DERBY..I smell a derby.Ladies and gentlemen Tomorrow it's Derby day!and where you ask?non other than in Manchester.What was a seemingly useless and boring match 5years ago is now arguably one of the biggest matches in England which now has the likes of Tom Cruise and David Beckham attending.

Thanks to the shift in Power(and some 'minor' investments)Manchester City is now a force to reckon with in England,new aquisitions like Aguero,Silva and Co have sparked up the team immensely and created one of the most deadliest strike force in England.City(who are the only team yet to lose in England)have every chance of walking away as winners in this tasty encounter,but one worrying thing is do they have the spirit?We all saw how they were (embarrasingly) evicted from the Champions league,having not won a single game,from english champions that's just unexceptable even despite being put in a tough group,you would expect them to have beaten atleast Ajax.
Back to topic,City are going in as clear favourites and have the fire power to destroy Man united,worrying factor will be Manchinis' tactical decision making(which leaves many amused) aswell as injuries to a few key players like Silva,Micah Richards,Clichy and Milner..and lets not forget about Citys defensive woes,let's just say they haven't really been good at the back.

Man united on the other hand are enjoying life on top of the table,having found a spark that has seen them collect maximum points in their previous games,the team has the spirit and chemistry to help them get something from this game,the blistering strikeforce combo of Robin Van Persie and Wayne Rooney is the best strikeforce in the premier league and will definately be a huge threat to Citys leaky defence,having said that..Man united are terrible at defending just as well as city,they have only kept 2 clean sheets this season..meaning they have conceded a goal in every match other than those two which says alot.Injuries are also a worrying factor for Alex Ferguson and his bubble gum,with players like Valencia,Kagawa,vidic,Anderson and Nani out injured their Midfield looks flat out compared to Citys.

This will be a very tough game and no doubt Goals will be scored so expect a high scoring game.Man united are slight underdogs in what will suffise to be a tasty meeting so City will have the advantage.But despite what i've said my prediction is

Manchester City 2-3 Manchester United

I just have a feeling that Manchester United will edge this one out,maybe a last minute Van Persie Toe Poke?

What are your predictions?
