Manchester City edges United for Top Spot
Barclays Premier League
Manchester City edges United for Top Spot
An injury time header by Kompany ('45+1) in the first half, gave City a 1-0 win over rival United !
This was their 163rd meeting and City wins its 45th in the Derby against cross-town rival. Moreover, it was a win in a match that mattered most for the 2012 Premier League Title,no less !
Thus , City ties the Red Devils at 83 points but leaps on top of the League by virtue of its more superior goal difference record!
Barring any more surprises or miracles , the win may have given Manchester City its first ever Premier League Championship with two matches left !

Manchester United vs Manchester City : Moment of Truth
Barclays Premier League
Manchester United vs Manchester City : Moment of Truth
This is the match that will matter most for both cross-town rival teams!
No less than the Championship of the EPL is at stake ...and of course the bragging rights in their hometown!
Manchester United ( 83 pts) just lead its bitter rival by 3 points after 35 league matches but has won 1 match more although Manchester City has a plus 6 goal difference overall ( 60 vs 54 )!
It is interesting to note though that Manchester City has not won in their last 2 matches while United has won its last 2 !
Historically , the two teams have played against each other 162 times since their very first match in November 1881 ( United was then called Newton Heaths while City was West Gorton-St. Marks ) ! Overall , Manchester United has won 68 with 50 draws and losing 44 in what is now popularly refered to as the Manchester Derby!
Who will win this derby? Your call is as good as mine!

What I can tell you is that tonight's winner has the edge to win the Championship!
