A Manchester Divide?

This weekend the top two teams in the Premiership played two relatively tough games against competitive oppenents that is certain. Despite Fulhams not so good start to the season and general inconsistency when playing Man City, they were still capable of bringing the end to City's 100% start to the campaign, and they did just that. With United, they faced a Chelsea side who were previously unbeaten in the league and with a few fresh enigmatic faces such as Juan Mata running midfield it was set to be one hell of a game and it did not disappoint. The only problem is for City is their inconsistency, just like Fulham are against them. While United hosted the tougher of the two opponents and won with a convincing victory, City let their 2 goal advantage at Craven Cottage slip to draw the game 2-2. This could not have come at a worse time for City as they blew their lead at the top of the table and United overtake them by 2 points and with the Manchester derby not a long time away, City will need every single point they can get in order to topple the dominance of United as the main force in Manchester and England. Could this spell a divide for the two teams as United continue their typical form and City suffer the odd defeat or will they bounce back and challenge all the way for the Premier League title? Whatever happens it is definately going to be an exciting race to the finish line for both teams.
