I've cleared off a few of the oldest Good article candidates, so I think I'm allowed to indulge myself with one I'm interested in now. From memory your work is always very good, so I'm not expecting too much trouble! Harrias ^talk 11:16, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lead

"..in matches between February 1997 to February 2005." Either use "between ... and" or "from ... to".

History: Origins

Given it is mentioned in the infobox, it might be worth mentioning their first match in 1894, even though it is pretty inconsequential to the actual rivalry.
"..who would lose their lives as a result of crash.." Should be "of the crash".
It might be nice to have a bit more detail about what happened in that 1990 brawl.

History: 1996–2003

"..once Ferguson's team trounced Arsenal 6–1.." While I like it, I don't think "trounced" is encyclopaedic language unfortunately.
Ref #41 doesn't seem to mention anything about four players from each side getting yellow cards.

Ferguson and Wenger

"The two managers have "exchanged some of football's best and bitterest verbal swipes."" I think we need to attribute that quote inline, given how opinionated it is.

Crossing the divide

The title of the section is maybe a tad journalese-y?
"Note: Matthew Wicks never played a senior game for either team" In the list he is referred to as "Matt Wicks", be consistent.

Statistics

The Honours table is too wide for my screen, and I use a 1366 width. WP:RESOL suggests we should support as small as 1024 x 768. Consider switching the rows and columns to make it a tall, rather than wide table.

Overall, as expected, a well-written and interesting article. Nice work. Harrias ^talk 11:16, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
