The Chase for Local Pride in England

There's a pretty interesting game in the Barclays Premier league tomorrow at 10:05 a.m. 2nd place vs 4th place. 2013-14 champions vs 2012-13 champions. Red vs Blue. Manchester vs Manchester. Manchester vs Manchester? Manchester City vs Manchester United.Tomorrow is the Manchester Derby, soccer fans.

I almost forgot, De Bruyne vs Martial! Chelsea will be watching this game downstairs, all the way down from 15th place. Hopefully the basement is not too cold.

These two teams have faced each other 169 times.

City: 49 wins.
Tie: 50
United: 70 wins

Rooney is the all-time top scorers of the derby with 11 goals. Today is his birthday, he's turning 30. He scored 187 Barclays Premier League goals, which is the most goals scored by any players by the time they reached 30. Even Henry.

He hasn't been playing good so far this season but watch out for him tomorrow. He's eating cake right now to get ready for the derby. He even told manutd.com : "There's a lot of local pride, we want to win and it's important that we go into the game confident. If we play the way we know we can play, then we can certainly take the three points."

Whoo! You heard that, City? Unfortunately, City have five injured players going into this game.

All star players: Aguero, Clichy, Nasri, Silva and Delph. But word in the English streets (manchestereveningnews.co.uk) is that Silva can return in the starting XI tomorrow.

Besides all those stars- injuries, City beat Sevilla 2-1 this past Wednesday.

Let's go to Manchester now, the other Manchester. United will be missing Luke Shaw and Ashley Young. But the question for them coming into this game is: What position is Martial playing?

He played on the right last game in a 1-1 draw against Moscow. The United fans weren't happy with that, they like their teenage sensation at the center forward position to score goals. Let's see where Van Gaal put him on the chalkboard tomorrow.
