The always exciting derby between Manchester City and Manchester United will hog the spotlight on Sunday on matchday 28 of the English Premier League, just before the return of the Champions League for the round of 16 second legs.
City, leaders of the English championship, have a 19-point advantage over United, fourth, and that he focuses his efforts on getting a place in the ‘Top 4’ and qualifying for the next Champions League.
In the first round, Manchester City won 2-0 at Old Trafford and the United players will seek revenge in a prestigious duel that has a particularly important value for the fans.
The ‘Citizens’ arrive at the match with confidence. They have just qualified this week for the quarterfinals of the FA Cup and on Wednesday of next week they will host Sporting Lisbon in the round of 16 of the Champions League, although that duel is presented as a simple procedure after the victory 5-0 for the English in the first leg in Portugal.
