These will be thumped by City won’t they?
They should be, but who knows?
Lets face it, Abu Dhabi are a far superior
collection of mercenaries team than Oleh's boys, but the Mancs will be smarting from their Barcelona humiliation and will need to raise their game in order to keep top four hopes alive. If they have any pride left whatsoever, they really have to bust a gut against the franchise.
Liverpool are vastly superior to Everton and the table currently boasts a 39 point gap between the clubs, which should be over 40 points by the end of the season. Despite the chasm in quality and class between us and our bitter neighbours, they did manage the moral victory of a 0-0 draw against us at their place. Derbies are weird games. Abu Dhabi
should wipe the floor with their neighbours because they are far better than them, but weaker teams can sometimes get a result. The Mancs actually really need to turn up for this one. Their top four aspirations and any remaining self-respect they have depends on it.
