A MOUTHWATERING Manchester Derby between United and City at Old Trafford kicks off our weekend entertainment and this has all the ingredients of a cracker.
Back in October, Manchester City walloped Manchester United at the Etihad in a one-sided embarrassment of a mismatch that was 6-1 until a couple of late consolation goals put a shine of respectability on the scoreline for the visitors.
It propelled City eight points ahead of their rivals and the gap between the clubs looked wider than ever.
However, Dutch coach Erik ten Hag has performed something of a miracle since then and his side are now being whispered of as potential unlikely title challengers.
A win at Old Trafford would see United go just one point behind City and six points behind leaders Arsenal temporarily anyway.
While City have been oddly inconsistent this season and prone to throwing in the odd stinker β like in recent home games against Brentford and Everton β United have been the model of consistency recently.
