We're really going to find out what the players are made of.

Are they going to rise to the occasion or are Manchester United going to suffer back-to-back defeats?

I don't feel like that we are going to lose tomorrow.

We've only lost two of the last 10 games overall.

We've only lost two of our 10 Premier League home matches this season.

City have only won one of the last five Manchester derbies.

And they come into this one off the back of drawing their last three Premier League assignments, which has allowed Arsenal to widen the gap at the top.

So this is must-win territory for Man City tomorrow.

I knew that at the start of the week.

I was keen on City.

I didn't think Man United were going to get any kind of bounce.

I'd given up on the club.

Darren Fletcher took charge for two games.

Man United didn't win any of them.

I didn't see what difference Michael Carrick was going to make.

Now, maybe I'm just being an optimistic supporter and I bought into the way that he spoke.

But he spoke very well at the press conference.

He was very calm.

He didn't take any baits when he was asked about the Roy Keane situation.

Roy Keane had criticised the appointment of Fletcher Carrick.
