Mike Summerbee and Denis Law discuss the Manchester derby and their thoughts on the latest instalment as United look to close in on City

Mike Summerbee and Denis Law tell Gary Neville who they think will win Thursday's Manchester derby.

The two clubs head into the Premier League showdown at the Etihad, live on Sky Sports, separated by just a point and a place in the standings.

And with Champions League football next season still very much up for grabs for both fourth-placed City and United, it will be all to play for in front of the Sky cameras on Thursday night.

Summerbee, who played for City between 1965 and 1975, has backed his former club to come out on top.

"They are both doing very well, the two teams are playing exciting football," he told the Sky Sports pundit when the trio sat down to discuss the game at Hotel Football in Manchester.

"And as far as I am concerned with City, we are making progress all the time. I am very confident of winning the game."

It's a heavyweight week of action this week on Sky Sports with three huge Premier League games.

Law - who represented both teams - was less forthright with his prediction, though, only willing to say: "I have no idea (who will win)!

"You are always confident when you go out to play and you should be anyway. And then you come off and you win the game and it is all very good."

Meanwhile, one-time United right-back Neville was simply "excited" about the prospect of watching the two teams go head to head this week.
