The noisy neighbour could be about to raise the decibel level. Manchester City are banging on the door of Champions League qualification and would love nothing more than to have the final say in extinguishing United's title chances.

Should they succeed, City will have proved more of a nuisance than Sir Alex Ferguson might have imagined when he derided them as a domestic irritant following United's 4-3 win in September.

It's always personal between these Manchester rivals. Just ask Carlos Tevez. The Argentinian felt undervalued by Ferguson at United but he has been the high-octane inspiration behind City's push for a top-four finish, as recognised by his nomination for PFA Player of the Year.

The favourite for that award is Wayne Rooney, whose 26 league goals and overall performances as a one-man wrecking ball give United reason to argue that Tevez has not been missed at Old Trafford. Except, that is, when Rooney has been injured.
United's failure to win in their last two games has coincided with the England forward's absence. Should United lose further ground to leaders Chelsea on Saturday, a record 19th league title will surely have to wait for at least another year.

As for City, they are a club in a hurry; it might not be long before they have something to shout about.
