Manchester United and Manchester City's Manchester derby can be said to be one of the oldest derbys in England.

The "Manchester Derby" premiered on the historical stage on November 12, 1881. On that day, Saint Mark's Church in Viaton (the predecessor of Manchester City, established in 1880, called "Alderwick Football Club" from 1887 to 1894, and changed to "Manchester City Football Club" in 1894) was set up at home, and Newton Heath (the predecessor of Manchester United, established in 1878 and changed to "Manchester United Football Club" in 1902) was invited to play "an interesting game", but Saint Mark's Church was defeated 0-3.

The first league derby between Manchester United and Manchester City occurred in the 1894-95 English Second Division, earlier than the famous North London derby. At Manchester City's old nest Hyde Road Stadium, the relegated Newton Heath (Manchester United) was bigger than the horse and beat Manchester City 5-2.

The first "Manchester Derby" in England's top league was not late until December 1, 1906. Manchester City defeated Manchester United 3-0. According to statistics, in order to witness the 14-year appointment, the people of Manchester City were very enthusiastic. The number of fans in the game exceeded 5,000 and the ticket revenue exceeded 1,000 pounds.

Although Manchester derby is longer than the national derby between Manchester United and Liverpool, because Manchester City is too poor and has not won the championship in the past 35 years, its influence is average. Not only can it not be compared with the national derby between Manchester United and Liverpool, but it is even worse than the London derby.

However, this situation began to change as Middle East billionaire Mansour took over Manchester City. As Manchester City spent money to buy people in the transfer market, building a lineup of hundreds of millions of dollars and a star-stunning lineup, the Manchester derby gradually became a world-renowned derby. Until now, before the Manchester derby, some media and fans have discussed whether the current Manchester derby can surpass the London derby and the Double Red Club.

The century-old derby has produced countless classics, including Manchester City's 74th derby in the English League Two, and Red Devils captain Keane kicked Manchester City player Haaland with one kick.

But the 156th derby to be held this week will also become a classic.

Before this game, Manchester United has achieved a brilliant record of 11 league wins since the beginning of the start of the league, tying the 11-game winning streak that has been covered for 50 years. As long as we win the Manchester derby in this game, Manchester United will create a new history. While writing itself into history, it is enough to nail Manchester City to the pillar of shame.

In the past 11 rounds of games, Manchester City has lost three losses, two draws and six wins, with 20 points, ranking fourth. Compared with history, it is also a very good record.

But people are so popular that people are so popular. Compared with Manchester United, Manchester City has a total of 13 points less, which is a gap of more than four games. With Manchester United coach Ferguson's sophistication and calmness, Manchester City has basically lost hope of winning the championship. If Manchester City cannot defeat Manchester United in this game, they are afraid that even Chelsea will lose hope of winning the championship, allowing Manchester United to stand out in the league.

Even if Manchester City loses hope of winning the championship, they will never want Manchester United to win the championship. In this game, they must defeat Manchester United, break the hope of setting a record for Manchester United, and hold back their dream of being the best.

Manchester City's dream is also the dream of the entire Premier League team and fans except Manchester United. No one wants Manchester United to go away and make the championship competition lose suspense. With Manchester United's current stable state, other people who can stop Manchester United are no longer able to expect, except injuries and Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City, because after Liverpool was 7:2-battered by Manchester United, it has now reached the relegation zone. Tottenham lost without any temper when Manchester United tied their winning streak record, and it is almost impossible to count on them to block Manchester United.

Before the game, Arsenal head coach Wenger spoke out for Manchester City. "Mancini has injected technology and vitality into Manchester City. They are new power in the Premier League. I believe they can beat Manchester United at home."

Chelsea is rare to keep pace with Arsenal, and head coach Ancelotti also has great confidence in Manchester City's winning. Fatty Ann said that Mancini's team is always very competitive in the league. They are now strong and the players are extremely eager for the championship, but if they want to win the championship, they must beat Manchester United. In this Manchester derby, Manchester City is obviously more morale.

Liverpool coach Hodgson also said that the derby is always unique, Manchester City has the strength to dismount, and whenever a record breaking, there will always be some curses, and Manchester United may lose a lot.

Premier League head coaches share the same hatred for the enemy, and this situation is rare. Only after Abraham took over Chelsea, Mourinho's Chelsea swept the world and Dugu Qiu was defeated, did the Premier League teams unite to try to defeat the madman, and now Ferguson has tasted this treatment again.

In fact, even the FA may not hope that Manchester United will continue to win like this. Although they will not say it, they can tell from the referee they sent out that Atkinson what their tendencies are.

However, for Manchester United, whether they can win the Manchester derby and whether they can break the record of Tottenham's winning streak that has been maintained for fifty years, the most difficult thing is not the opponent, but Manchester United itself.

Since Chief Mansol has taken over Manchester City strongly, although Manchester City has increased its strength, Manchester City has played against Manchester United for 6 times, including four defeats in the Premier League, and the League Cup is home wins and lost to the lodge. In other words, as long as Manchester United wants to win the game, they have not lost.

However, Manchester United is very lucky. After returning from Turkey in triumphal mid-week, the flu virus spread at Manchester United's Carrington base. Nani, Evra, Anderson, Gibson, Vidic, Berbatov and Scholes were all more or less infected with the flu, and even coach Ferguson was caught and could not be interviewed by reporters after the game.

It can be said that this virus flu almost knocked down half of the main players of Manchester United, which is why Ferguson had to recruit some reserve and second team players to play in the mid-week League Cup match.

It is not possible to play against a strong team like Manchester City. Young people play derby, not to mention lack of experience, they can’t stand it psychologically. As long as the main team is not lying on the hospital bed, as long as the team doctor allows, they must play. In Scholes’ words, “Even if they are climbing, they must climb to Manchester City’s city stadium. Even if they use their teeth, they must bite Manchester City to death.”

For Manchester United, the biggest benefit is that Gao Xiaodong and Rooney, the two fat men, were safe and sound during the flu virus raid.

Gao Xiaodong is in full form now and is the best foreign aid for Manchester United's first 11 rounds of the season. In the 11 league rounds, Gao Xiaodong scored 14 goals, with more than one goal per game. Including the goals of the Champions League, Community Shield Cup and League Cup, Gao Xiaodong was terrifyingly averaging two goals per game. As long as he is there, Manchester United almost led the game with one goal.

Although Rooney is in a normal state, Rooney has always performed well in the Manchester derby, and now he has scored 7 goals in the Manchester derby, which is only two goals away from the 9-goal derby goal record maintained by Sir Charlton. As long as he plays, he will pose a threat.
