Manchester City vs Manchester United
English League Cup Semifinal 1st leg, 21h00
The derby of Manchester has to welcome a new face, as Roberto Mancini took over as manager at Eastlands. He managed 4 wins in 5 games and has won the fans with good performances from the team. They kept three clean sheets in that span of games, but on Saturday at Everton they were simply not good enough and could not cope with the Toffees momentum. 
Manchester United are in a huge dip of form and will need this derby in order to gain some momentum. But with Ferdinand and Giggs out; Vidic and Berbatov highly questionable it will be hard to cope with the Sky Blues drive for success. Still United has won the last three meetings between these two, while City won the two before those.

I think Bellamy and Tevez will be instrumental in tonight's matchup and will win the game for the home side.
I tip Manchester City to win, at odds as high as 7/8.

I expect Manchester United to win here because it convinced me by their first goal to break the net despite Burnley all in to defense in the match. Rooney is on his best form while the Devil shows great morale.

Mancini's side was stopped by Everton. Bit or less, the unexpected defeat should shakes the players' confidence.

The Devil with stronger mind-set is better choice.
