pretty interesting stats from RedCafe, suggesting that United have actually done better against top 6 clubs than against the bottom half. City is the complete opposite ... they are regularly dominating the weaker teams, but struggle mightily against the top clubs.

United's record against the top 6 - Pld: 7 Won: 3, Drawn: 3, Lost: 1, Pts: 12, Pts per game: 1.7
United's record against the bottom half - Pld: 15, Won: 7, Drawn: 3, Lost: 5, Pts: 24, Pts per game: 1.6

City's record against the top 6 - Pld: 9 Won: 0, Drawn: 3, Lost: 6, Pts: 3, Pts per game: 0.3
City's record against the bottom half - Pld: 16, Won: 13, Drawn: 3, Lost: 0, Pts: 42, Pts per game: 2.6
