Manchester United are heading into the local derby against Man City with six defeats in the last eight games and paradoxically enough it is the heaviest of them all, 4-0 at Everton, that could play on the minds of Pep Guardiola's men.
Jamie Carragher said on Monday Night Football: ''I think if United would have won 4-0 at Everton as opposed to what’s happened I think it's different. I think Pep Guardiola will be thinking 'I didn’t want that. I know that might sound strange but Pep Guardiola will be thinking it’s a derby game, they lost 4-0, the reaction, even the crowd.
''People are saying they want City to win the title, of course they do - that’s football, that’s fans but even as a United supporter watching that yesterday they don’t want to go to Old Trafford on Wednesday and watch their team get beat three or four nil again.''
That being said, Carragher just can't see United as favourites of the clash. What happened at Goodison Park was the worst he'd seen United play ever since Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement.
