The big match of this weekend is the Manchester derby. This match is going to be the title decider for this EPL season. If Man City win, they go on top and with two rounds in hand, would be firm favorites to win EPL. If Man United win, then they go clear by 6 points and definitely will win the EPL. On the other hand, if the match ends in a draw, then Man United would be 3 points ahead and would be firm favorites to win the title. So what is your pick of the result? Cheers! Ram

As a united fan I'd like them to win it but it is a derby I can't really predict it. I tried to predict the first round result but without match success :P so I'll pass it this time :)

:) I think no one envisaged the first round result. That was a real freak show by United and City. I think this will be much closer one much like the community shield match which was finally won by United. Cheers! Ram

Unfortunately, Man United were lackluster yesterday. They lost 1-0 to Man City. Vincent Kompany got the all important goal. Cheers! Ram

I want City to win. I'm not good in predicting, so what do you think the chances are to have my wish come true? It's been so long for City to win this title, wouldn't it be just great if they can do it this year?

I also want Man City to win tomorrow as it would really make the final two rounds very interesting. Cheers! Ram

The odds might lean toward United winning. But with great determination, Tevez and friends might just beat the odds. He is playing in this derby, isn't he?

I am also very hopeful that Tevez would play in this match. But it all depends on how Mancini sets Man City for this match. I hope he goes all out attack. Cheers! Ram

I think Rooney would be really up for this game. He usually is for the big ones. Cheers! Ram

I am not sure if its a title decider but i think that Manchester City have to win as they still have a very tough match at Newcastle to come.

I think the final rounds are tricky ones for both the clubs. I think Man United have a tough away match at Sunderland to finish their set of matches. That is definitely not going to be easy. Cheers! Ram

Dubbed the mother of all derbies, the latest edition of the Manchester derby will have significant impact. Unless they screw up big time, the team who wins, will take the title home. While I dislike Man Utd, I hated Man City more. So, I will be a Red Devils fan for 90min+what time added on fan

It did turn out to be the mother of all derbies. But Man United was disappointing in the match. Man City went on to win by a late first half goal from captain Vincent Kompany. Cheers! Ram

I'm so hoping for Manchester City to win. I think they deserve it. They had a great season, with a few ups and downs. It's going to be a though match! Can't wait for the match to begin :D

Man City went on to win the match 1-0 in the end. That puts them on the top of the pile on goal difference. Now the title is theirs to lose. Cheers! Ram

i will take MU as the winner of this game.. now City is more favourite in this game..because it was played in their home, ettihad.. the situation is not good for MU because they lost many points in several crucial game.. they lost 2 points when they only draw with everton in their home.. it will add some pressure for MU.. but i know that Sir Alex Ferguson can handle the pressure..

That is what Sir Alex has said in his pre-match conference. He says that United are more used to play in such high pressure games and so they are up for it. Shortly the war of words will come to an end and the war of the football will begin. Cheers! Ram

My prediction for this match is a draw, probably 1-1. Both teams are strong. Both teams are capable of winning the league. So the outcome of their match depends only on the performance of the day. Although the match could be seen as the title decider, but it is only so IF Manchester City loses or get only a draw. Even if Manchester City wins, it is not a guarantee that they will win the title outright although they will enjoy a very big advantage. There may still be twists.

True, but a win for Man City means that they hold the destiny of the title in their hands. A draw means the title chase still goes to the final day where Man United holds the destiny of the title chase. Cheers! Ram
