The kind of home advantage that you get from being in these big stadiums full of fans is something that based on

on German football isn't something that either Manchester United or Manchester City can look with any great confidence upon.

But I think both of them are united in the fact that they want to get going very quickly.

Yeah, good.

I think probably not as good as Oli is at the moment.

I think he's pleased with the way things are shaping up and the momentum that his side are managing to get.

That's nine games unbeaten, six wins, three draws, two goals conceded.

And when you think about how he started his time at Manchester United when he first came over,

That was unbeaten in XI, so he's getting towards those sort of heady heights and things very, very different to what they were before Christmas.

Yeah, I think it's a difficult one.

I think, you know, last night they knew, I think, that they could win the game without Harry Maguire.

Would they have liked to have him there?

Yeah, I think they would as well.

But, you know, I think they're going to wrap him in cotton wool and try and bring him into the derby on Sunday.

I mean, they've still got, you know, time to get him fit.

He rolled his ankle.

I've got to say, you know, I watched a lot of that training session where he rolled his ankle.

The players were in high spirits.

You know, it wasn't just something that they put on for the cameras.

It was a feeling that this is a togetherness, a belief.
