And only after the games spoke about these two fixtures coming up in the Premier League, City and Spurs, he talks about winning them.

And I think that's the change here.

I think in the past few games against Manchester City, certainly this season, it's been almost spoiling their party, trying to put a stick in their spokes.

And I think, you know, there's an argument to say the way that Manchester United are going about things with their results...

bearing in mind they are unbeaten in nine, they might even be the form team going into this derby.

So that changed the complexion of it.

But I think what makes life more difficult is that they seem to have found a way of winning at the Etihad.

They did that, of course, in the League Cup.

They did it in the Premier League with probably their best first half performance under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

What they've struggled to do is win the Old Traff against Manchester City.

I think it's one win in the last eight meetings in the Premier League at Old Trafford.

And, you know, I think they've lost their last three.

Certainly Pep's won

three in the Premier League.

And you think, you know, you go back to 2011, the season when Ole Gunnar Solskjaer left Old Trafford, well, there was a ticker there that said that Manchester City hadn't won a trophy in 35 years.

It ticked on, ticked on, ticked on.

In less than 10 years, things have changed very much.

And I think Pep Guardiola will probably look at that and think, we can get about Manchester United.

We can find and expose the spaces.

I think what we have here is probably all the ingredients for a really, really good derby.
