The passionate Manchester City Derby is about to kick off with both Manchester City and Manchester United on fire in their hometown. Looking back at the last EFL final between the two teams, United won 2-1. Time has passed and both teams have gone through radical changes, especially this season, when both teams have new managers. United suffered two consecutive defeats in the league, the "Red Devils" are demoralized, while the "Blue Moon" has rarely performed well. This time, the two powerhouses face off to see who can rebound first. It is worth mentioning that Manchester City's last 7 home games in the league, the number of goals scored in the half time reached or exceeded 2 goals, the classic cases of the fight abound, this time to chase 1.5 goals, half-time victory is expected.
At the end of October, City suffered an unexpected defeat to Tottenham, losing five consecutive games and dropping to the top three in the league standings at one point. Godiva's performance was particularly poor, and the players' confidence was shaken. Analysts believe that City's collapse began with a wave of defensive injuries, especially the most fatal one to Lodi Kasjandi. However, the bigger problem was that they had gotten used to winning in recent years and were unable to adjust their mentality in the face of unprecedented adversity, continuing to blindly pursue perfection, leading to the worsening of their woes.
For Man City, this match may be an opportunity to get out of the dilemma. Both sides in the match have no way back and are eager to win, so the Bobidou situation is promising.
New Manchester United manager Ruben Emolian has not had a great start to his managerial career. After two consecutive victories, he suffered two consecutive league defeats and slipped to 13th place, especially the 2-3 defeat to Nottingham Forest. Defensive vulnerabilities and lapses in Gobbo's ability have been the Achilles' heel. Godeyo is expected to target these two weaknesses. It is difficult to predict the winner of this match.
However, Emmanuel's tactical system has really improved United's attacking strength, and the victory over Parsingvitania in the UEFA Cup demonstrated the powerful ability of "starting twins". Facing City's fragile backline, United is expected to gain a lot. In addition, City's recent poor condition, the first half of the delivery more, 1.5 goals half-time win become the focus.
