Phil Neville expects "tight, tense" Manchester derby

Phil Neville has said that he is expecting a "tight, tense affair" when Manchester United host Manchester City in the Premier League.

Both sides are in the top four heading into this fixture, having each lost just twice in their opening nine matches of the campaign.

The former United defender told BreatheSport: "United are in decent form at the moment. They're going into the derby off the back of a brilliant performance at Everton after they bounced back from their defeat at Arsenal.

"I've a feeling it will be a tight, tense affair. United will come out on top because I feel this is United's moment to prove to their rivals that they've good enough to go on and win the league."

United have won just one of their last five meetings with their neighbours, claiming a 4-2 victory last time the two sides met.
