The Manchester derby is upon us again.... Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola are two managers in remarkably similar positions at their respective Manchester clubs, yet it is their one big difference which will divide and define them at Old Trafford on Sunday. The two men in charge Jose Mourinho and Pep Guardiola are united by a City but divided by style.

It is a scenario which will be played out on Sunday. Few expect United to outplay City - another consequence of who the respective managers are - so even if the Portuguese wins he would likely get a measure of criticism from some quarters for "winning ugly". Just look at the expected-goals-based reaction to the 3-1 win at Arsenal last weekend.
A United victory would, of course, spark a title race and they would be afforded the opportunity to chase down their rivals, who for all their supreme performances and various broken records would be just five points clear. That would really be something, as the spotlight would then turn to Guardiola and whether his style really can work when the games pile up in December.
Should United lose, however, they would be 11 points adrift. If that happens, Mourinho would not only face criticism that his approach is not just less attractive than Guardiola's, but less effective, too.
Perhaps even the United fans who have spent the last few months claiming Guardiola's success is down to luck or money may finally re-evaluate the situation and wonder whether they are backing the wrong horse and if they would, in all honesty, love to have the Catalan in charge at Old Trafford.
We will have to wait until May to see who is on the right side of history, but at least on Sunday both managers will have the opportunity to make their case. Mourinho has made his name by winning, Guardiola by winning with style.
If City prove that you can indeed have both in the Premier League, that would really give United something to think about.

Manchester united 2-0 Manchester city

Glory glory Manchester United.
