Manchester City have been "the Kings of Manchester". That coronation came from City's £116m summer signing Elliot Anderson - and has been hotly debated in the build-up to the Manchester derby Super Sunday showdown at Old Trafford, which you can watch live on Sky Sports.

Is Anderson right? Does City's huge recent success mean they rule the roost? Or are Manchester United still No 1?

Anderson was asked about the Manchester derby during an interview with Manchester City's official club website this summer.

"It's one of the biggest derbies in the world and for as long as I've known Manchester, City have been the kings of Manchester," Anderson said.

Manchester City boss Enzo Maresca says Anderson's verdict rings true in recent years.

"Probably the reason why Elliot said that was that he grew up in the last 15 years, Manchester City were unbelievable with what they achieved. It's normal Elliot said that," said Maresca.

Michael Carrick was a Manchester United player when City were labelled "noisy neighbours" by former United boss Sir Alex Ferguson in 2009. But the current United head coach says City's subsequent Premier League wins and triumphs in the derby have ramped up the rivalry.

Carrick pinpoints Vincent Kompany's derby winner in April 2012 - a month before City's last-day Premier League title triumph - as a key moment in the duel for supremacy in Manchester.
