Is City-Utd the replacement for Arsenal-Utd? No two teams so far have come close to matching that intensity, but it seemed that the appointments of both Pep and Mourinho last year could. Yesterday's match, for the first time since the Arsenal-utd games, boiled over to some interesting things. Mourinho getting milk thrown at him, Arteta suffering a cut is sure going to make the reverse fixture later in the season intense.
I don't see the players themselves on the pitch have any personal battles, but the overall match is going to be good.
Whilst I would love to see Pep react to Mourinho with gibes thrown, even the fact that he doesn't is enough to wind Mourinho up. And a winded up Mourinho does rub off on his teams, negatively and positively.
New rivalry?

Liverpool and United seems more of a rivalry as they're similar in terms of quality and have big fan bases
City are miles better but also too new at the top

There were a few angry moments on the pitch last Sunday. Think there were a few more things going on than what the cameras picked up.

Arsenal are not considered as a hig team anymore.
I consider Spurs a tougher game than you..
Arsenal are only better than the lesser sides

Realistically United are as poor as Arsenal, they're a much bigger club though

I don't fear playing Utd like I used to, I fear City far more, therefore you're not a big team either. Think that's the logic being used here.

When you think back to Arsenal vs United, you think of the rivalry and the hatred between Vieira and Keane. They were inspirational in creating an intense battle on the pitch and both players would have been despised by the fan base of the other. Respected, but despised nonetheless.
Look at today's captains of the top 6; Kompany, Carrick, Cahill, Henderson, Mertesacker, Vertonghen. You can imagine them all being pals.

Lloris is the Spurs captain with Kane backup.
