Inspite of losing their 29-match unbeaten record at Wolverhampton Wanderers last weekend, United are still in the pole position.Four points clear of second-placed Arsenal and five in front of Saturday's derby-day opponents Manchester City, as Blues assistant manager Brian Kidd recently stated, the championship is the Red Devils to lose.
With Manchester United losing their first game of the season away to Wolves last week, Darren Fletcher insists the Premier League is still a long way away from being decided."You have got to earn the title," he told reporters. "Nobody gives you the trophy"
The ever improving Darren Fletcher is hoping that United beat City at Old Trafford and boost their title chase."The eam that wins the league will be the team that deserved it and showed the best form throughout the season."And as if the Manchester derby was not of paramount importance before, this meeting goes even further than that with both teams battling it out at the top league.
The Red Devils are hoping that a win against Manchester City ,which by all means has an abundance of firepower , would give them the necessary confidence to do well in the Champions League, which starts on February 15th."This is when the big games come that can ultimately win you trophies," said Fletcher.United have to play at Arsenal and Liverpool as well as play Chelses twice.The title race has got crazier than ever this season.United have played exceptionally well in the big games this season. The spirit and energy shown by them is truly inspiring.
During their previous encounter , United and City played a goalless draw at the Eastlands.Both the teams focussed on defending and niether were willing to attack.This saturday the game kicks of at 12:45 p.m at Old Trafford and knowing the support the team receives from the fans will sperhead the attack.Wayne Rooney's return to form and Nemanja Vidic's rock solid defending should make the difference in the upcoming Manchester Derby.The mercurial Nani must also play his part and become every defenders nightmare.Many peolpe predict another draw in this match but United are well aware of the consequences and would definetly give out their best.Best of luck Reds!!!
