Micah Richards insists that his side have nothing to lose against Manchester United.

Manchester City defender Micah Richards has said that his side have nothing to fear ahead of this afternoon's Manchester derby.

The 23-year-old said that the pressure is on United to get a result at Old Trafford against Roberto Mancini's side.

"It'll be the biggest game of the season," he told The Sun. "Everyone has been talking about it and looking forward to it.

"We feel we have nothing to fear. We're the underdogs, they're at home and expected to get a result. We've got nothing to lose so we'll try to get the result.

"Whoever wins will be top of the league on Sunday night and that's always nice, good for confidence, but it's still early days."

The Citizens will be looking to go five points clear of Manchester United with a win over Sir Alex Ferguson's side this weekend.
