With the international break now over, full focus now turns to club football with English Premier League game between Manchester United and their arch rivals, Manchester City now the talk of town ahead of the Sunday clash....CONTINUE READING
Hence, here are some of the most interesting things to look forward to ahead of the game;
1. Pep Guardiola vs Erik ten Hag
The two coaches spent time together at Bayern Munich when the now Red Devils boss was in charge of Munchen II while the Sky Blues manager was in charge of the senior team and hence, it would be amazing to see how they fare against each other especially given that their tactics and game plans are more or less the same.
2. Lisandro Martinez vs Erling Haaland
The United center back is currently on a record of being the best defender in the English Premier League in terms of aerial duels won, ball interceptions and recoveries.
Meanwhile, the City striker is on a goal scoring spree, bracing 10 goals in just seven appearances and hence, it would be interesting to see how the Argentine international defends against the Norwegian superstar.
3. Christian Eriksen vs Kevin DeBruyne
Signed in the August summer transfer window in a sensational free transfer, Eriksen has taken the Premier League by storm with him bossing the United midfield alongside Scot Mctominay.
The 30 year old is currently boasting the most chances created as well as complete passes made in the Red Devils squad.
In the meantime, DeBruyne has continued with his top form over the last decade after managing to win the Bruno Fernandes’ debate and what now remains is whether he can outplay the Denmark international.
4. United vs Michael Oliver’s derby jinx
The Red Devils have only managed to bag a single win in six games that the 37 year old has officiated with the last game seeing the Cityzens coming out winners in a 4-1 scoreline and hence, it remains to be seen whether the Erik ten Hag’s side will finally manage to overcome what it seems to be a bad luck.
