Manchester United`s clash with Manchester City will be an interesting match as both sides knows themselves well enough on the pitch.
The match is not a dead rubber game even as the Reds Devils claimed a confidence boosting 0-6 away win against lower league side Tranmere Rovers in the FA Cup.
However, the visitor would be facing a huge test of the week as they trade tackles with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
With City on the ascendancy and United needing something special from the game, we evaluate the reasons the Red Devils have got a chance in this contest despite their 1-3 defeat at Old Trafford against Pep Guardiola`s Manchester City side.
Obvious United Quality
The Old Trafford side may be facing a daunting task ahead of their trip to Manchester City but they have got a chance in the contest as far as the 90 minutes duel is concerned.
Players like Juan Mata, Harry Maguire can hold their own on their day while tapping into the inspiration that the Red shirt brings on the shoulders of Manchester United players.
This may be the case here as the talented duo of Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood lead the front lines following injury to the clubs top scorer Marcus Rashford.
United’s Memorable Comebacks
The memorable comeback the Manchester United’s side have had in the years back is countless as the case may be.
This will be a big trigger for the traveling side as they face the Citizens believing for a renaissance of such glory in the 90 minutes encounter.
They have achieved the unbelievable in the past and this gives the fans and club some form of optimism (hope) ahead of this fixture.
This is the positive euphoria that United`s history shrouded in memorable comeback provides as action looms at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday.
Measure Of Rivalry
The measure of strive and contention that exists between the two sides is enormous as we’ve seen in recent past.
Goals have been a plenty in this fixture as well owing to the level of intolerance between both team as they don’t take each other for granted whenever they meet each other on the pitch.
This would play a big part in determining the Red Devils chance in the contest.
The away side would need to overturn a 2-0 deficit on the road (at Etihad) and the measure of rivalry emanating from the camp of the Red Devils may be a real catalyst as they wouldn’t want to lose to City for any reasons.
