These are the line ups for the much awaited derby....
The teams are in and, unsurprisingly and here they are:
City: Hart; Zabaleta, K Toure, Kompany, Boateng; Y Toure, De jong, Barry; Silva, Tevez, Milner
United: Van der Sar; Rafael, Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra; Nani, Fletcher, Carrick, Scholes, Park; Berbatov
Seems like a good squad to me given the conditions at OT....
ManC is a fractured team with individual stars and ego's.They might have a lot of individual talent but are a long way from gelling as a team.Which other team has players fighting in-between a game , quite often.
And why the hell does Adam Johnson play less.He is one of the better players at ManC.
Should be a good match anyways.I am hoping to see a lot of goals.
What a waste of a match.Ruined my night for this.:banghead:
Looked as if United were playing against 10 defenders.ManC under Mancini play like typical Italian sides.It wont help them win the EPL.With billions under his belt and one of the most talented sides in EPL , if he believes that Chelsea will win the EPL , it shows his attitude.
United looked the only side looking to win this match.ManC are only are cheap imitation, who failed to impress.
well saanil; rnt u playin fantasy prem league dis tyme..is der any community u knw about to discuss which player to take n nt.. n all dat stuff...gunner rocks
Vidic made it even...
exciting second half. First dominated by Villa n now united:cheers:
Last few minutes n united on a roll. Hope to see 1 more goal.. but united do miss a quality striker.
EDIT: Its a draw. 6th draw for united this season:|
They are very lucky to get a point today. Villa was indeed the better team ripping United's defence into parts.:o

Wellnot just striker..we need lot of players
RB -- Rafael is good with attacking and defence but who else..Wes Brown was neither attacking nor defending... Neville is good but often injured
LB -- Evra thinks he is a winger of some sort and was caught way off his position more than a dozen times..
CAM -- There isin't any... :(
Winger -- Nani is good but we need a replacement for Valencia(short term atleast) Hargo and Giggs are still injured
Striker -- Rooney is back so he will be available next week onwards improving the chance...
All this team's got is character but that can only allow us to chase games which ain't gonna make us win a trophy...
I dun think Chelsea should have any trouble this season in retaining the PL well until and unless they like competition....
But I still wish to see that ruthless United
Arsenal Beat Everton 2-1 at Goodison Park
Great Performance from Arsenal
Bring on Tottenham next week
Bale vs Walcott:clap::clap::clap:
Woohoo!! Chelsea lost .
Great performance by Sunderland. Steve Bruce doing his old club and manager a nice favour 
.
This week's biggest winners will surely be Arsenal. All other genuine contenders failed to pick up all the 3 points.

A dark day for the Blues...losing to a team who have one of the worst away records, that too at the bridge!! :-(
The midfield was crap, no creativity whatsoever. Add to that, Drogba looked very lethargic, Anelka has forgotten how to score goals in the league (though he has quite a handsome record in UCL).
Without Essien or Lampard in the MF, it will be pretty hard for us to run the show. 2 more matches without them, and that includes one at St. James Park. Hard days are coming :-(
Best weekend results for Arsenal 😃
S'land 3-0 Chelsea 
I don't know where to take out my frustration.. y Arsenal Y!!!!! :banghead:
Praying for Chelsea and united to lose...!! :|
This feeling sucks....!!

Stupid demotivated Players:banghead::banghead::banghead:
The spurs were up for it while arsenal were not. To think i wasted 2 hours of my time watching such a pathetic display.
Feel like strangling some one

aren't you guys asking for it once too often ?
Arsenal vs Spurs... has rightly taken the spirit up for the teams which have been breathing on the necks of top 4.
I dont think there is any reason to praise Spurs for their game.. they did not play well as most of you will agree.. Still they won as individual brilliance still makes difference and will do in future as well... VDV has to be credited for this win. Ohh yes Gallas, despite having a little shaky start in midst of "boooooos", has been brilliant.
On another note Arsenal's defensive blockers were inexistent :-P
P.S. Taking off Aron Lennon and blocking Nasri in the second half were two excellent moves by Redknapp.. Kudos..
P.P.S. Other teams will not be as generous as Arsenal.. Its good time that Spurs organise themselves better.
P.P.P.S. What kind of idea it is to take off Arshavin in exchange of Walcott..Vice versa is always welcome, see Redknapp (How apt he was in Lennon's withdrawal).
first_timer Saysaren't you guys asking for it once too often ?
phew I was talking too early. Birmingham leads against Chelsea. All hell's breaking lose this year in EPL :)
EDIT : Arsenal can't defend goals, while Chelsea can't even score one :P
When will solomon kalou ever learn to score important goals ? He's the carlos vela of chelsea, or maybe we can call vela, a kalou of arsenal
Spurs completed one of the most amazing comebacks in north London derby history to end their 17-year wait for a win at Arsenal and deny their arch-rivals top spot in the Barclays Premier League.
Coming back from a 2 goal deficit in the second half, the terrific trio of Bale, Van der Vaart and Kaboul did an explicably wonderful job.
In other parts of England, a rejuvenated Bolton Wanderers is leading in HT by 2-0 against the newly RE-promoted Newcastle.
Chelsea might be handed their 3rd defeat on the trot by the relegation licking Birmingham. They lag by a goal to nil at HT.
Keeping my fingers crossed for the BIG game tonight, LIVERPOOL vs WESTHAM
Bolton 3-1 Newcastle.
Match still on.
Blackpool 2-0 Wolves
Bolton 3-1 Newcastle.
Match still on.
Blackpool 2-0 Wolves
Bolton is on a goal spree.....
Elmander scores with his left foot this time.
Scores the FOURTH GOAL of the match for the Wanderers.
Super sub Javier Hernandez scores the second one for MANU.
Few minutes and we may see United back to the top.:cheers:
dint expect Chelsea to go down like this after the crackling start by them.
Aresenal defeat was a shocker as watched the starting and they were playing well.::
