5 factors that will decide the Manchester Derby

#2 Manchester United's ability to counter-attack

Manchester United v Everton - Premier League

If there are any positives for United going into the weekend clash against City, one of them will definitely be their ability to counter-attack with pace and power.

United showed it against Arsenal last weekend and are expected to play the same way at Old Trafford on Sunday. Key to United's tactics will be the trio of Antony Martial, Jesse Lingard, and Marcus Rashford. Two of them will definitely start with Lukaku upfront and United will rely on these three to catch City on the counter.

The Blues will dominate the possession and if United can withstand early City pressure, Pep will look to commit more men going forward to break United's defensive wall. This will give an opportunity or two for United to hit them on the break.

There is no shortage of pace with this United side and it will be the key to unlock high pressing Manchester City.
