talkSPORT's man in the north west, Dom McGuinness, looks back on the New Year's Day wins for both Manchester clubs as City beat Stoke 3-0 and United thumped Wigan 4-0.
And McGuinness says an injury to City striker Sergio Aguero could be the chance for Mario Balotelli to come back into the fold and stake his claim for a first team place.
"One door closes, one opens. This could be the chance for Balotelli to come back in and do some damage," McGuinness said.
