5 factors which could decide the Manchester Derby

#5 Fixture congestion

Bothered by match fatigue and fixture congestion?

In the penultimate month of league football, fatigue plays a crucial role in determining the result of any match. Just off from an international break, a sense of tiredness and fatigue were discovered in several players across Europe. While City is alive in both the Champions League and the Premier League, United only have to care about domestic matches from now until the end of the season.

On paper, Manchester City face a tough test next week which could potentially decide how the finale of their season turns out to be. Facing three of the Big Six within a span of ten days would certainly challenge Guardiola's men to the best of their abilities. United, on the other hand, have the luxury of massive breaks, something which is very rare in the month of April.

Can Manchester City greet their fans with another league title with victory against the Red Devils and ride on the momentum of their domestic achievements to achieve European glory or will United put pride over their fears and win the match as underdogs?

The Derby is usually contested to decide the colour Manchester will be painted in the next morning but this time around the colour of England could be decided by the derby!
