The timing of the 176th derby could not be better as Manchester City have a priceless chance to claim a fifth league title against their fiercest rivals at home. If City pull this off then their players will become legends and those in the Manchester United side will be constantly reminded of their unwanted part in Mancunian history. It should be some match at the Etihad Stadium. Jamie Jackson
