Manchester United vs Derby

8/12- The best looking and the most well balanced premiership team takes on probably the most imbalanced and out of form team and the giants of Man U take on the minnows from Derby. Derby are already looking at the first division next season if they see the current form the club is in, they have just managed 1 point from a total of eight away encounters and even worse is the fact that they have not scored a single goal away from home, in fact they have hardly scored goals this season, just 5 goals in 15 matches is a terrible statistic for the side.

 

While Man U have not lost a single encounter playing at home this season, they have been in great form at Old Trafford. With the likes of Rooney and Ronaldo they seem to strike the net at will but the most striking feature this season has been their impeccable defense, they have just given away 7 goals in 15 encounters which is the lowest number of goals given this season. Man U, currently in second spot would be looking to close down the gap with league leaders Arsenal to just a point after this match and would be hoping that Arsenal cannot get the full points of their away encounter at Middlesbrough.

 

While the Man U camp will be counting the number of players who will convert the goals for them, Derby’s new boss Paul Jones would be trying to find someone who can probably get the first away goal for his club this season. McEveley might just be the one person who might put his hand up this time to come to his rescue while Oakley could be that person as he is the highest scorer for the club with 2 goals this season.

 

Prediction: Man U win 3-0
