Manchester United face arch-rivals Manchester City on Sunday afternoon at Old Trafford in what promises to be a classic encounter. They have had many important Premier League clashes in the past but this must be one of the biggest in regards to importance. City currently sit eight points ahead of United in the table but this could all change if the Red Devils can secure a positive result in this clash.
We take a look at five reasons why football fans must tune in on Sunday afternoon.
1Classic matches in the past
A final reason to tune into this game on Sunday afternoon is because of the number of classic matches these two sides have played out in the past. There is a strong possibility Sunday’s game could prove to be another. Some of the best Manchester derby moments in recent years include City’s 6-1 demolition of United at Old Trafford, Michael Owen‘s last-minute winner as United won 4-3 against Mark Hughes‘ City side and Robin Van Persie‘s last-gasp free-kick at the Etihad to win the game 3-2 for the Red Devils.
