Would not have expected Man United to be back in touching distance of the top of the league so soon. Credit where it's due to Ole, most of us were taking the piss a couple of months ago.

Their league form has been excellent for months in fairness. Only games they've drawn since end of October were v Leicester and Man. City and that's not terrible results either.

CL exit overshadowed things of course but they're miles better in league than last season imo.

They won't win it but can't see how people can give OGS stick if they finish second.

We can still get something off them IF we defend like we have done in all away games bar West Ham where we were sloppy. Wolves still had 5 shots on target tonight so you'd think we can do better on counter attack.

Know how this feels. Happened to us all the time last season

Must really suck right now to be a Wolves fan. Such a heroic, battling performance but yet end up with nothing

ugh no reminders please

Their squad is insane.

Probably better than City's

It is much improved. Last season v us they were starting Andreas Periera, Dan James and Juan Mata in the 2-2. Lingard was their  last 15 minute "supersub."

Now overflowing with attacking options although still struggle to create much if there isn't much space to run into so we need to be careful with that.

There's a mistake lurking there with Bailly so he's someone we need to really target as he loses players so easily.

I’ll have one of whatever you’re having!

Table doesn't lie. 

They are 2nd because they are currently the second best team in the league. 

Will be one of if not the most difficult game of the season

Not a better squad though, not even close, City are under performing 

Mental side of football again, City are in a slump, utd seem to be dragging themselves through, mainly because of Fernandes and almost in spite of ole 

CBs are weak, he doesn't ever seem to pick his best midfield and until Cavani got up to speed they didn't have a proper number 9

After Silva left they are not the same team. 

Lot of older players as well. City genuinely doesn't scare me anymore. Man Utd do.

Can actually see Man. United finishing above City this season.

Man. City are just a tired team, was reallly surprised Pep signed a new deal as with his previous at other clubs he normally has a break after 4 years as his methods can exhaust a squad in that period of time.

Perhaps they'll reel off 7-8 straight wins if Aguero gets fit and starts scoring but not convinced. Find their games really boring to watch. At least Man. United ones are generally entertaining at both ends.

So you think that teams don't set up for KDB? OK... 

Its not just silva leaving, sterling and the other silva are out of form, aguero is out of the team

If you did a mixed 11 of the 2 squads fully fit and firing I'd have 3 utd players 

Spoiler

Ederson

WB - laporte - maguire - cancelo

Rodri - KDB

Mahrez - Fernandes - sterling

Aguero

Both are really poor on paper in defence especially in the full back positions, for all the money they've spent neither of them have a good LB

Like I said city's main problem is they aren't fit and firing, right now rashford and Cavani are out playing sterling and aguero but they're not better players
