For Manchester United, there top four hopes are pinned on the derby, while for Manchester City, their route to the Premier League title rests on this titanic clash.
Even by the rarified atmosphere of Manchester derbies, there will seldom have been so much on the line for both sides of the city when Manchester United host Manchester City on Wednesday.
But with Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea also faltering, they remain just three points off the top four. Solskjær questioned the work rate and desire of some of his players on Sunday, making it clear that big changes are needed. “Old Trafford at home, in front of our fantastic fans, they were unbelievable again and they never ever moaned at our players, which they could have, but they’ve been supportive and I’m sure they will be on Wednesday night.”Should City fail to win at Old Trafford, Liverpool — historically United’s fiercest rivals — will be just three games away from a first league title in 29 years.
