Derby County vs Manchester United

March 14, 2008

15/3- Derby County have probably put up one of the worst performance in an entire season of the English Premier League history and this week they get ready to play hosts to one of the best, if not the best team of the premiership. Manchester United are just a couple of points behind the league leaders and have also played a match less and this opportunity will be highly cherished as they take on the weakest team in the premiership. While the visitors are in prime form and are fresh from their victorious stints in the Champions League and the English Premier League, the home team has not been able to win a single match in their last 10 attempts. The last time both these teams played each other was earlier this season and Manchester United while playing at home had registered 4-1 victory. The overall head to head record also favours the team from Old Trafford as they have won 7 of the 13 matches played between the sides and Derby on the other hand have won only twice.

Manchester United played their last premiership match against Fulham a couple of weeks ago and they managed to register a 0-3 victory while playing away from home. They also beat Lyon in a home match last week and the team is looking to take the lead away from the Gunners and is looking good in doing so. Christiano Ronaldo and Tevez have been in prime form and with good support from Rooney they have caused problems to all opponents. They would be going all out for a victory with a big margin as it could come down to the goal difference at the end of the season. Any points dropped here would annoy the team and the fans.

Derby County can only hope that they can put up a good show this time.

Prediction: 0-4, Manchester United win
