The Manchester derby of September 2013 was not only Manuel Pellegrini’s first since his appointment as manager of Manchester City, but David Moyes’ first since he had succeeded Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United. Both, at that point of the season, also remained contenders for the Premier League title.
