Seventh-place United and 14th-place City draw 1-1 in a lively contest, with Clayton Blackmore\u2019s excellent goal cancelled out by a screamer from Ian Brightwell.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">That was the last time the Manchester derby took place with both teams in the bottom half of the table*. Today\u2019s game is 16th v 11th and, though there are some simple reasons for that \u2013 it\u2019s early in the season, they\u2019ve played a game fewer than most of the teams above them \u2013 it\u2019s also a reflection of the reduced status of both clubs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">City have lost two of the first three games and the word on the street is that Pep Guardiola is yesterday\u2019s visionary; United are United.
