Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has questioned the number of penalties awarded to City over the past 12 months, drawing a hostile reply from his counterpart Roberto Mancini ahead of the Manchester derby.
Ferguson's jibe was aimed at the amount of spot-kicks City have been given since the start of the 2010-11 season, though his figures actually reflect the past three seasons. During this time City's penalty rate numbers 21 in total, 20 of which have come on home soil.
Indeed, Mancini's men have had penalties in their last three matches, and Ferguson is hoping Sunday's referee Martin Atkinson does not add to that tally.
