LONDON: Not since the glory days of 40 years ago have City fans approached a Manchester derby with such high hopes as they will take into Sunday's Premier League clash at Old Trafford.
Since winning the league in 1968 and giving United a farewell shove out of the old first division in 1974, City fans have been forced to dine on meager derby rations.
Even the 5-1 thrashing of 1989, a 4-1 win in 2004 and their first home and away double for four decades in the 2007/08 season have been achieved against a backdrop of total United dominance.
