Fernandinho could easily have seen red there.

Probably followed by a difficult season imo.
What is the neutral viewpoint on the upcoming derby?
Are there any neutrals thinking that one team might prevail, or do most people think it will be a draw?

Based on yesterdays match and how city are doing right now, I think city will win

Draw. Mourinho will sacrifice nearly anything, including his dignity, to not lose to Guardiola especially in a derby.
Fair enough, thanks for the replies, I of course will not be a neutral in that particular match, and will be thinking all along that we will win that!
Hence why I was/am interested to hear from people that are not a fan of either club.

I'm hoping he doesn't make it a circus before the game.

If United allow City to play, City will win. But Jose will try to ensure that doesn't happen - however, do United have enough mobile, disciplined players to carry out tie manager's likely plan? Pogba allowed the Germans too much space in the Euros and I can't see the likes of Mata, Zlatan, Rooney and Fellaini being mobile enough to stop City planing out from the back. So I'm intrigued to see what Jose will do. He may see pace in Rashford and Mkhitaryan being part of the answer. Home advantage will always help too.
An early City goal and I'll go for City. The longer United can frustrate them, the odds shift towards United.
It's a bit of a lottery frankly - the officials may see to that...
And the Old Firm as well - what a day...

If I am allowed to say, without meaning anything untoward at all, you make it sound as if City are huge favourites for the gan, when I see it as very much more even than that.
I don't think City have been that impressive at the back so far this sea, so there will be opportunities there for our attacking players, hopefully they can taken them.
Both teams have some very good players, so I think it might be a case of who makes the least errors might very well be the team that prevails.

I surprised that Pep still gives Sterling a chance. I think soon his career will go the same way that Shaun Wright-Phillips' did.

lets see if the FA have any bottle
my guess is, nothing will be said about it whatsoever, and he will play in the manchester derby
City have finally achieved their long held dream of becoming everyone's favourite second team, it would seem.
