Michael Carrick’s second interim spell in charge of Manchester United begins with a derby, as Pep Guardiola’s title-chasing City visit the Theatre of Dreams.
In what is the 198th meeting between Manchester’s two grandest institutions, Guardiola will encounter his sixth different Red Devils boss since he took charge of the Cityzens in 2016.
Carrick is no novice, though, having spent three years at the helm of Championship side Middlesbrough. His job is to restore a bit of life to a fallen giant, even if he’s primed for another short stint at the helm.
Victory for the hosts will embolden their quest to claim a Champions League place, while City require three points to close the gap on Arsenal at the summit. They were excellent in the week away at Newcastle United, but their previous three league outings have frustratingly ended all-square.
Despite flagging woefully behind their neighbours throughout Guardiola’s reign, United have occasionally been able to bloody the nose of the once-perennial Premier League champions.
This head-to-head tussle is bound to offer plenty of intrigue thanks to Carrick’s arrival, and here’s how you can watch Saturday’s derby unfold.

What’s Next for Man Utd and Man City?
It’s a slow start to Carrick’s reign, but a difficult one. Man Utd have no midweek fixture to contend with, so the interim boss will have a full week on the training field to prepare his team for a trip to Arsenal next Sunday.
Man City will be hoping for a favour from their neighbours in north London, and they’ll be expected to stroll to victory when they face Wolverhampton Wanderers at home in their next Premier League outing. Before that, though, City fly to the Arctic Circle for their penultimate outing of the Champions League league phase against Bodø/Glimt on Tuesday evening.
