Manchester City host Manchester United in a battle at the top of the city. Both sides have failed to live up to expectations this season, with the Blue Moon winning just one of their last 10 matches and currently sitting in fourth place in the league, while the Red Devils are only in 13th place under the leadership of their experienced coach. Both teams are eager to make a comeback in this marquee match, which will be a fierce competition.
City's form has taken a sharp turn for the worse in the last two months. Last week, they drew 2-2 with Crystal Palace, and in midweek, they lost 0-2 to Zuyundas in the UEFA Cup, which put the team leaders under pressure. The team has been plagued by a succession of injuries this time around, with core player Rigoletto Livesey suspended due to injury. The bigger challenge for Blue Moon is that the coach is having trouble fixing the backline in a short period of time. It is expected that this game will face a strong rival, the Red Devils, who will have a full attack to try to get out of the slump.
Last week, United went down 2-3 at home to Forest, before a midweek trip to European supremacy saw them narrowly beat Bersinia 2-1 in the Czech Republic. Striker Helen then scored twice in an eye-catching performance. It is believed that new manager Ruben Emolian will continue to trust Helen in this game, especially since Helen has scored five goals since Emolian took over. The Red Devils have only one win on the road, and with a midweek trip and insufficient rest, it is expected that Manchester United will be at a disadvantage in this match at the Blue Moon's home ground, while Manchester City is expected to win all three points to boost their morale.
