Although I'd love to be proven wrong on this, I reckon United with lose before City. I'm still not convinced United are the side people seem to be making them out as. Our defence is a slight concern and of course De Gea has yet to adjust to the game and can't yet be considered reliable. Yes we've had a good start but I'd say it's more a mixture of luck, lower-end opponents, and playing Arsenal.

Rooney is obviously on fire but what if he takes an injury? Wellbeck is still learning, Hernandez is making a slow start, Owen can't be relied upon to score regular goals at top premiership level and Berbatov is Berbatov.
