David Silva has claimed that Manchester City's rivalry with Manchester United has changed ahead of the latest meeting between the two sides.

Silva believes that United, who previously dominated English football, now have a greater amount of respect for City given their recent successes.

The sides do battle at Old Trafford on Wednesday night, with City aiming to take a step closer to winning the Premier League, while United are looking to get into the top four.
