Jesus Navas: Manchester derby win would be "very big"

Manchcester City winger Jesus Navas admits that beating Manchester United at Old Trafford would be a "very big win" for the team.

Jesus Navas has said that victory over Manchester United would be a "very big win" for Manchester City ahead of this afternoon's derby match at Old Trafford.

Manuel Pellegrini's side will be looking for a fifth win in six meetings with their local rivals, having been beaten 4-2 when the sides last met.

The winger told Goal.com: "The last derby didn't go as we wanted but I believe that in the rest of the games we played well and this year we have another opportunity.

"My favourite [derby] is the first one that I had the chance to play in, we scored a lot of goal at home. The truth is I have a lot of great memories and we have got some great victories against them.

"Now we have a derby, a very important game, and we're looking forward to it. I'm keen to keep playing, enjoying, and doing well. We know that they're a great team no matter who plays and we're very focused."

Navas has played in all nine of City's fixtures in the Premier League so far this season.
