Manchester City vs Manchester United
English Premiership, 1330 BST

This is a very late tip. It's about a big derby, which is played in front of a
City of Manchester Stadium capacity crowd.
As I have the line-ups in front of me, I can go for the home side to make
a big match here.
United will be without Rooney, Saha, Cristiano Ronaldo, Anderson, Neville,
Heinze and Solskjaer; with Tevez and Owen Hargreaves in the first 
team, but not at full match fitness. Sir Alex Ferguson's troops only managed
two draws from two matches so far, at home vs Reading and at Portsmouth.
Manchester City has a very successful boss, Sven Goran Eriksson. He
enjoyed his start of the season, claiming six points from 2 wins: 2-0 at
West Ham and 1-0 at home vs Derby County. City have a very promissing
young squad. Their roster is full of quality also, as some important players
will face United today. The likes of Micah Richards, Martin Petrov, Elano
and Bojinov will start, as Italian striker Bianchi and Belgium international
Mpenza are ready to come on when asked upon.

I bet 1000 units on Manchester City to claim at least a point here, at 4/5.
