5 Things to Look Forward to in the Manchester Derby !

1) Jose Vs Pep

In the end all the hype and excitement surrounding this derby is primarily because of the two managers who will be leading their respective sides in the battle at Old Trafford. This will be 17^th head to head meeting with Pep winning 7, Mourinho winning 3 and 6 of them ended in a draw.

Both the managers want to start their new job with a win over their arch rival and this adds extra flavour to the already fierce rivalry. Both the managers have spent a fortune and both their sides are star studded. This derby, in many ways can be compared to these managers clasico matches. Will Pep go out all guns blazing at Old Trafford without his star striker? Will he stick to the 4-1-4 formation?

Will he stick to his philosophy of keeping the possession and exposing his back line for counter attack? Are some of the questions that will be answered on the derby day itself. Jose will definitely look to have a better start against Pep this time and will definitely look for a win at Old Trafford. (Manchester Derby)

An exciting match awaits the football fans this Saturday. As it is too early for this match to have an impact on the title destination, I would be going with a 1-1 draw. I expect both the managers to respect each other and play a safer game. The return derby at Ethiad on Feb 26 can be a potential title decider.
