Remember when you keep losing, returning to the winning lane should be a problem;
This is the time for the senior brother in the Manchester to take back their glory;
It could be United's Day on Sunday. Very possible.

I agree with you, if not for the transformation Pep did who is Man City where we have Liverpool, Arsenal, Man UTD, Chelsea and the rest of them? Things that are happening today at the Etihad today is because of Pep Guardiola. I think he should be rated as one of the best coaches in the EPL, a man who came and made City a champions league winning club with about 6 EPL titles should be appreciated every day.
The issue at hand is something other big clubs in the EPL have experienced, like Arsenal, Chelsea even Manchester United are having their own issue. I don't see any reason why the board of City would think of letting Pep go because things are not working as it used to be. Is a matter of time before we start seeing these guys bouncing back and if eventually City start performing well, I feel for those clubs who took advantage of them when things was bad will pay for it. Many people have been using the absence of Rodri as the main reason why the Citizens are not doing well, for me I don't think that's the reason.
This is their time to be on the losing side so they have to enjoy it no matter how bitter it is and if Rodri is the case then Pep should be blamed because he should have gotten a replacement for every department especially the midfield and should know that these guys are not machines but humans which means they will break down, Pep should see these things as one of those things in football.

Fulham is known to make problems for big teams and i think that Liverpool will struggle in this match if they dont take an early lead against Fulham. But they are still apsolute favorites and in a really good form. I dont know if Chiesa will still play he dosent have room to get some minutes just from my point of view but still maybe he can be on the bench at least.

Better you should rather not conclude yet Mate: i understand you people’s saying this based on their performances this season that looks some how bad, but that doesn’t give you too much hope by giving Manchester United chances of winning this upcoming match. Because Manchester United just recovered their performance little, is when the sacked their performance management’s they’ve have small improvement.

That’s even a lot of people’s was give them hope i just they over looks, since I’m football everything is possible; is just that is very difficult to predict who to win during the match day, but wee shall what Manchester United can able to do against Manchester City; if not u didn’t expect anything good from them.

Both teams are currently not having a good season, in every league they play in they have been really bad and close to ending with nothing achievable to talk about by fans who has supported them since the beginning of season.

Manchester City lost in their last game against Juventus despite that was in a separate league but they are really on the move of repairing their previous loses, I can't say for them by any chance supposed to lose against Manchester United. Of course we can't tell how mind blowing the both team may return in their game but Manchester City is the center of attraction in the game and likely to secure the win.

Liverpool may be in red hot form but Fulham is really going to make life very difficult for them. Fulham are not a team to back down and they have a very strong strike force with solid defence I think this would be a very interesting match and it will be a match Liverpool would use to prove if they deserve the position they are in or it's just a fluke.
Arsenal vs Everton: I don't think this game would be difficult for Arsenal, this would be a another three points for Arteta after they dropped points last week to Fulham.

Every team will definitely want to play Manchester city at the moment but to me this is a very bad time for Manchester United to play them even though everything looks like they have a chance. Manchester United themselves are playing poorly under their new manager because of the new manager tactics. Many people think they will be performing better maybe because of a manager bounce or luck but that is not the point they are actually facing reality and proving that the problem is not the manager but rather players themselves.

This Manchester derby looks like last season meeting between Chelsea and Manchester United when both teams where having difficult time. For me this is the perfect time for Manchester United to actually get back on city for all those games they have beating them harshly and also to stay in the race for a European place finish. As for city anything aside a win will be the end to their tittle pursuit and put their top four hopes imbalance.

Liverpool will continue their Premier League match against Fulham tomorrow and according to the squad update i have seen some of Liverpool players such as Conor Bradley, Ibrahima Konate and Kostas Tsimikas potentially will be absense besides these players Alexis Mac Allister also confirmed will not into the squad because he got the suspension after accumulating five yellow cards

I have a good news because Diogo Jota and Federico Chiesa could return to the squad after recover from their injured but i am not sure they will starting the match from the bench or they will playing since the beginning of match and i think people already know that Liverpool is in the good shape because they can able to managed their consistency in all competitions so lets see it later whether they can beat Fulham or not

I'm surprised to hear this too, why don't he go for players that he has already worked with at sporting to help strengthen the team at Manchester United. Going for players that he hasn't coached before can be challenging for him as he'll have to train them again which he doesn't have the time since he needs to do something fast about Manchester United concerning the way that they're performing. Ruben Amorim is going to be facing Pepe Guardiola again when Manchester United plays Manchester city and we're going to witness a revenge from Pep Guardiola. The only luck that Manchester United has is that Manchester city aren't in form.

to be honest a team like Mancehester City is not like top teams like Real Madrid where Pep Guadiola might have a doubt they might sack after all these disappointing performances. City never dream of being where they are currently without the help of Pep, thier hero and master mind. The fans want him may even wish for him to stay as their manager till he chooses to official retire from management.

Pep and his men having a difficult time this period and may more likely bounce back by January, after the squad is more likely strengthen especially in the DM role handled by Rodri before his ACL injury.

Very very interesting game without a doubt. United isn't a good team at all, even with Amorim they haven't been that great just yet, and I am sure that we are going to have some issues for the long term as well. However, that doesn't mean that City is any different, they are having one of the worst periods of entire City history, and I feel like they are not really happy with what they have.

All in all, I believe that they are trying their hardest but City is losing a lot of games as well, which means that we are not really going to get anything out of this game that comes close to a great game to watch. However, I still can't decide who will be better, both teams could win, not because both are good, but because both are quite bad.

Obviously, there will be different factors when Amorim at Sporting managed to beat Manchester City in the Champions League, but it is not certain that Amorim managed to beat Manchester City with Manchester United in the Premier League. In addition, considering  the odds available at this time it is very clear, even though Manchester City is in a bad trend, but Manchester City is still very favored, maybe also because they are playing at home. Because of course, Pep Guardiola will also do his best not to be defeated by Amorim for the second time.

Thus, of course this big match derby is a difficult match for both teams, considering that they also do not have a good trend at this moment. Thus, maybe I will be more confident for the final result of a draw  in this match because if it is to determine the winning team, I think it is difficult. Because the home team and the away team for me personally have the same good chance  of getting three points in this match.

He's only saying that because he knows he's the only option they got for now and the board won't do that cause of his clean record since he arrived the club, i think this is the first time such massive decline in form has occured since he joined Manchester City and i don't think they'll use it to judge his competence but would rather give him more time and even give their full support in the upcoming window. Pep Guardiola is just so frustrated at the poor reoccuring results, that's why he made such statement without thinking whether they’ll fire him or not, moreover he's achieve a lot with the team and across England and he's aware that if they decide to fire him, it won't take too long before he secures another big job in Europe based on his profile. Well i don't think what that they're experiencing would last for a long time, things would get better cause i expect them to be busy in the January window. I believe they're currently busy scouting substitute for Rodri and other areas that needs strengthening.

What do you expect mate?
Any team wants such advantage because when it is over, they will not get the opportunity to win them easily, and statistically, we have seen how Manchester City is winning Manchester United in the Premier League, the last Manchester United win against Manchester City was in their last FA Cup final, and after that, Manchester City has won them again.
However, Manchester United can have the opportunity of this poor form of Manchester City to win them, but City playing at home can be very difficult to defeat by Manchester United; therefore, if Man United can get a draw, it will be a good result for them.

Gundogan is right with his opinion, Manchester City players are currently playing as if they don't know how to come with another pattern of play once the plan they have is busted. Guardiola doesn't have to disagree with what Gundogan is saying, we can all see it, this is beyond just being unlucky, Manchester city find it difficult to compose themselves hence the game isn't going in their favour, even their last game against juventus they displayed the same attitude. Let's just see how lucky they will be against Manchester United.

This is a photo of a beggar who has been told by 10 people in a row that they don't have any cash  
Yeah, he has a lot to do now. Every coach faces the injury epidemic but I can't think of one who has fallen so low (1 win in 10 games lol) while coaching a top club. Where did all the depth go? Maybe he didn't select it well enough? And why can't he achieve any results without top players like Rodri? Maybe his success isn't in his supposed genius, but in the oil money that allows him to have a top team?  

How I wish Manchester City can take a break and rest to help them retrace their errors. This perpetual failure of the club to the tune of almost ten matches is humungos for a that outperformed other clubs last season. You cannot be the biggest team last season and all of a sudden begin to calculate losing and drawing streaks back to back for the last 8 to 9 matches.

The club has also fell on the table from the second position to 4th position now and they seem to be falling more after their game with Manchester United. Although at the table performance level, Manchester City is still all the way up and Manchester United haven't shown any chances of overtaking the City, not for now. If Manchester City eventually gives up this match for Manchester United, they will loss three points allowing chances for Nottingham to take over.

A draw will sound more realistic and achievable than saying Manchester United will win this game, even with the injuries and the supposed poor form city is suffering this season, I think United may still not be able to lead city because they don't have a solid defense line that can pose good resistance enough against city's attacking force but they can take advantage of the relatively weak midfield city got currently and then hope on some defensive errors around city defense to secure some goals and probably get the draw but I don't want to be certain about a win just yet.

Expanding the discussion a little on Ruud van Nistelrooy, after officially leaving Manchester United, he immediately returned to coach Leicester City, and the unexpected thing when Ruud came to King Power, he managed to stop the series of defeats experienced by Leicester City, under Ruud's guidance Leicester managed to win convincingly when facing West Ham and also managed to hold a strong team, Brighton, to a draw. Ruud seems to continue to show his ability in coaching and building a team with Leicester, and this will be a big regret for Manchester United when Ruud can really achieve it with Leicester.


There are rumors that Amorin is quite interested in bringing Osimhen to Old Trafford, but as we know that Osimhen has a fairly high transfer value, while on the other hand the coach wants to make major changes to deepen the depth of his squad by recruiting more new players in various positions and not just the front line. So, the possibility of bringing Osimhen into the squad is very small because if the club is determined to bring Osimhen, then they cannot bring in more players to really make major changes to the squad.

I don't know for sure which players Amorin will bring in to deepen his squad depth, but there is a possibility that Amorin will recruit players he trained while coaching at Sporting CP.

Their next match is a meeting of two struggling teams because the case of Manchester United seems even worse than that of Manchester City. Maybe this season is not just for the Manchester clubs because how would one imagine that the same problem will befall the two major teams from their? The reason I said that the case of Manchester United is worse is that they have even changed their manager yet nothing seem to have changed with the club in both the Premiership and Europa League where they are merely surviving because they managed to win their last match. Let's hope that the strength and confidence of that win will be enough to give them the courage to face the defending champion Manchester City.
