Manchester City vs Manchester United
Premier League 2018/19
Venue: Etihad Stadium
Date: Sunday, November 11
Kick-off: 4pm GMT
Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho resume rivalries on Sunday as Manchester City host Manchester United at the Etihad.
The first Manchester derby of the 2018-19 season arrives with both clubs facing difficult questions: United's are on the pitch, with City's off it.
United have recovered from a disastrous start to the campaign, but a nine-point gap between them and first-placed City after just 10 games means anything less than a win could all but spell the end of their title hopes before December has even begun.
The Premier League champions, meanwhile, are facing serious allegations of financial wrongdoing after German magazine Der Spiegel - via the platform Football Leaks - claimed city had misled Uefa to avoid Financial Fair Play penalties.

Head to head
The Manchester rivals have met 42 times in the Premier League, with United winning 21 times, City 13, and eight draws between them.
United and City each beat each other on their own turf last season: City won 2-1 at Old Trafford in December before United sealed a 3-2 comeback win at the Etihad in April - a result which did not ultimately cost City the title, but prevented them from being coronated in front of their rivals.
