I'm sure Rooney will be well up for it, he's not a manc but he knows the club and what the derby means to the fans.
It will always be a feisty game with Fernandinho on the pitch running around for 90 mins fouling people.
And Phil Jones.
It's a top 4 clash so I reckon it'll be feisty
i dont think it has to have local lads playing to be honest.
i think the fact city have overtaken Utd as the most succesful team in the city over the last few years will spur the UTD players on.
The most recent altercation in the derby that springs to mind was between Rafael and Tevez too.
Just read that Rojo and Aguero hada bit of a fall out in summer.
That could lead to a battle
Blind, Herrera, Rojo, Jones, Rooney and Valencia provide plenty enough aggression.
It's a shame Rafael isn't in contention because he is one of my favourite players in terms of the aggression he shows in big games.
Rafael is a poor player
A couple of worldies doesn't cover the fact that he'sa liability, you're better off with Valencia.

And a couple of worldies doesn't cover up Coutinho's endless wasted chances but you lot still go on about him being world class.
Even Falcao has a better goals per minutes ratio to Coutinho, and he's fecking useless.
Bojan is better than Coutinho.
Nothing to do with Couthino (who is clearly a good player but lacks consistency) the comment was about Rafael being a liability.
Says it all when no one disagreed with me just decided to jump up and down and make it us v them

Sure he is
He's a liability because he's always injured. He's actually a good defender.

I think the majority have accepted that Rafael isn't going to make it at OT.
Not that he is a bad player, just struggles to stay fit and has the occasional brain fart, none more so than any other full backs in the PL this season mind.
In fairness you lads do watch him more but I've never seen him as a good player always felt he's rash in the tackle and can leave you exposed.
I fear Man City more then Chelsea. I think Chelsea will make Man utd look like the 2010-11 Barca side. Chelsea only managed 3 shots against Man City and 0 shots for last 50 minutes of the match.

Nobody can make Man Utd look like Barca 2011/2012 not even Messi
I am on about 10/11. I think only Man City had more possession then us this season.

Since when did you more possession equate to superiority?!?!
You had more possession that Arsenal in the FA cup match at Old trafford and you lost
You has less possession in the prem match vs Arsenal at the Emirates and won
Okay only Man City had more short passes then Man utd per game 556 vs 481. Man utd play most successful long balls in games and are 19th in least amount of inaccurate long balls 20th. 82% of Man utd passes are short, 13% long, 4% crosses. I think we only made 3 through balls according to statistics.
Highest Shot Accuracy: Carrick (100% Shot Accuracy with a Total 7 Shots)

Chelsea are 4th ranked side on performances but then again this site troll the performances that we did well in like Liverpool away is one of our lowest scores due to lack of shots.
I don't remember him in that match but Bilbao definitely have us a great footballing lesson
