Man Utd beat Man City 1-0 earlier this season at the City of Manchester Stadium, whilst last year's Manchester United vs Manchester City derby at Old Trafford saw City run away 2-1 winners.
After the convincing 3-1 victory over Arsenal on Tuesday night that has seen them through to the Champions League Final for the second year running, it can now be said that Man Utd have well and truly found their form again after the blip in March and April.
Ronaldo, in particular, is in his best form of the season, scoring twice in the victory over Arsenal and twice in the Red Devils' last two league matches. Whilst for Manchester City it is Robinho who is hotting up, with the Brazilian scoring three times in City's last three league matches.
Manchester United must take seven points from their remaining four matches to clinch the title for the third successive year, so its crucial that the Red Devils don't let up in their end of season run-in, with matches against the likes of Arsenal and Wigan still to come.
Manchester City also have everything to play for, with a spot in next season's UEFA Cup still up for grabs. Trailing seventh placed West Ham by only a point, City will have to take as many points from their remaining three matches to stand a chance of European qualification.
With manager Mark Hughes undoubtedly looking to expand the team with some big-name signings for next season - Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o reportedly the latest target - a chance at European glory may convince star players to sign for City that otherwise would not have considered such a move.
Manchester United have only dropped five points at home all season, and in spite of Man City's recent resurgence in form, the Citizens currently hold the fourth worst away record in the league. And so the impressive Red Devils are unlikely to concede any more points in this match, and will enter the Manchester Derby as strong favourites to win.
