Silva confident as derby looms

David Silva has warned Manchester United they will come off second-best in the Manchester derby at Eastlands tonight. Manchester City go into the match in confident mood after ending a run of three successive defeats at West Brom, and the former Valencia forward makes his derby debut expecting to pick up a win bonus. A win over their nearest rivals would see City move on to the same points tally as United. Silva said: "This is a game we believe we can win. This is a hugely important match for us. "We know a victory would put us on the same points as they are. We are at home and will have our supporters behind us so the advantage is with us. We need to use the atmosphere and take the game to them."
