Soccer Sunday: Your Running Commentary

Manchester+City+v+Manchester+United+Premier+jrunxLQe_dol

One team must overcome recent form, and the other must dismiss recent history in the Manchester Derby.

After losing to Crystal Palace last Monday, Manchester City has just two league wins from its last five outings heading into Sunday’s match against its biggest rival. While Manchester United enters the game as slight favorites with five straight league wins, it will still take something special to beat the Citizens.

Not since December of 2012 has Man United defeated its sky blue neighbors in league play. A win this time around would see them go four points ahead of fourth place Man City and just one point behind Arsenal in second.

Stuttgart can climb off the bottom of the Bundesliga with a win against Werder Bremen. After climbing away from the relegation zone themselves, Bremen now has just one win from its last five league games.

Both Torino and Roma will be looking for a third-straight win in Serie A when the two teams meet in Turin. Elsewhere, AC Milan is looking for a fourth straight against Champions League chasing Sampdoria.

In Liga MX, Chivas de Guadalajara will try to keep itself in the midst of a race for first against struggling Leon.
