According to United players and manager that was the lowest point of their career but they have well and truly put that behind and showed city that form is temporary and class is permanent. Although United have suffered in the other competitions but in the league they have been ruthless to say the least.

Man Utd vs Man City Recent Head to Head Record
Manchester United are on their way to the 20th title this season and one played who have player who have played the biggest part in their title charge is summer signing Robin Van Persie who have scored 20 goals this season in the league and almost single handedly won them the league. Manchester United are coming into this match on the back of a winning against Sunderland in the league which was a typical united away win where they somehow managed to win all three points even playing poorly while on Monday they were knocked out of the FA Cup by Chelsea at Stamford Bridge by losing 1-0.

If we look at the h2h record between two manchester clubs In the last couple of seasons, United and city have been very even, United have won 3 matches in the last 5 games while City won 2 and if we see that there have been 23 goals in the last 5 matches and of course last season city humiliated United at Old Trafford when they won 6-1 and that was ultimately the difference between two teams winning the league or losing as they were equal in terms of league points but City were ahead on goal difference.

What happened to Man City this season
well answer is simple, they are still celebrating their last year league title win, they have the players but they are not motivated enough. They have been playing well but dont have their extra gear when they can change things when they are not going there way. They sold Mario Bolatelli in the January window, while some players like Samir Nasri, Aguero and Silva have kind of lost the form.

Man Utd vs Man City Team News:
Manchester United will be hoping to have Wayne Rooney fit and raring to go in the derby game, while there are concerns over the fitness of couple of other players while City have most of their big players back from injury with the likes of captain Vincent Kompany and Yaya Toure and they need all of them at their best form to get anything out of this match.
