Based on recent seasons form I would say Man Utd vs Chelsea is the biggest game because they have been the best and biggest two premier league clubs. Arsenal aren't what they used to be and Liverpool are p1ss.

Liverpool v Man Utd is our 'Clasico'. If you're going by the current best two teams then the biggest game will soon be Chelsea v Man City, which is quite sad.

Last season there was no doubt whatsoever that the biggest games of the season were the Manchester derby matches.
I'd suggest we could have more of the same this year too. |

I wasn't talking about relevance to the outcome of the league, but in terms of needle before a game the Manc games overtook everthing else. Definitely expect more of the same too imo.

It depends how you look at something as the big game.However if your talking most watched game on the planet (even more viewers than Real Madrid V Barcelona) then yes your talking Liverpool V Man U.
If your talking the 2 most succesful clubs in the England, yes your talking Liverpool V Man U. If your talking about the 2 biggest fan bases in England and massive rivalry, your talking Liverpool Man U. Liverpool and Man U could both be in the conference and it would still be the biggest game in England by far. HTH |

Definitely Villa v Blues, though the games have been a little one sided in recent years, which takes away most of the anticipation.

I'm not sure that Man Utd - Liverpool has EVER been the biggest game in English Football.
Back in the late 60's and 70's when I started going to Anfield,the biggest rivals for Liverpool were Leeds and then Notts Forest.Man Utd were never really succesfull enough during that period to warrant enough "bigness". Throughout the 80's,again,Man Utd not really that good and Everton became the main rivals. 90's onwards Man Utd succesfull and Liverpool dropped away,leaving Chelsea and Arsenal to become their biggest rivals. The modern,nasty rivallry has only prevailed because we live in hysterical and emotionally incontinent times,where each and every rivallry is overhyped and cranked up to stupid levels -Norwich/Ipswich and Portsmouth/southampton ffs!. Liverpool/Man Utd have never been hugely succesfull at the same time,which disqualifies it from being,or ever having been the biggest game. |

We do not have anything close to the Barcelona v Real Madrid rivalry which has been an enormous game since at least the accession of Franco to the presidency. It's about more than just football, it's about politics and non-sporting resentment too. Furthermore Barca and Real have been at the top of the Spanish game throughout that time. Not true of any English team.
North of the border however, you could call Celtic v Rangers the Scottish equivalent. I'm not talking about the quality of the football. The one thing that devalues the Old Firm derby compared to Spain's effort is that it's played too often to have quite the same gravity. |
