Manchester City vs Manchester United
The Manchester derby | Etihad Stadium
Kick-off: 4.30pm GMT
The biggest match of the weekend sees Premier League champions Manchester City host rivals Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium in the Manchester derby.
United won this fixture 3-2 last season, and their dramatic 2-1 victory away to Juventus on Wednesday night will have them brimming with confidence ahead of the 43rd Manchester derby of the Premier League era.
City, meanwhile, saw a resounding 6-0 victory over Shakhtar Donetsk overshadowed by a controversial penalty awarded after Raheem Sterling tripped up inside the box, while claims surrounding the club’s compliance with FFP has made for a difficult few weeks for the champions.
Pep Guardiola’s side are, however, sitting pretty at the top of the Premier League table, while Jose Mourinho’s side lie eighth.

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 crowned in front of their rivals.
