David Silva has told ESPN FC that Manchester City may now have the "upper hand" on Manchester United ahead of Sunday's derby clash, and that his team's 6-1 victory at Old Trafford in 2011 changed the face of the rivalry between the two clubs.
City and United meet for the 177th time in all competitions at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday and, although Jose Mourinho's United won the last encounter with a dramatic 3-2 away win in April, Pep Guardiola's men are Premier League champions and sit top of the table, nine points clear of their neighbours.
