What time and channel is Manchester United v Man City on in Ireland? Kick-off time, team news, betting odds and more

There is always plenty on the line in the Manchester derby but few have had greater importance than the upcoming renewal.

Man City travel to Old Trafford knowing they cannot afford any slip-ups in their title race with Liverpool.

Pep Guardiola's side are two points behind the Merseysiders but have a game in hand and can go a point ahead with three games to play with a win over their neighbours.

Manchester United are going through a difficult path under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and were crushed 4-0 by Everton last weekend after being emphatically dumped out of the Champions League by Barcelona.

But the Red Devils still have a huge chance of making the top four and ending a turbulent season on a high.

Here is all the key details for the Manchester derby:

When is it on?

The match will kick off at 8pm on Wednesday 24 April.

“Pep told us to be angry the day after. But on the match-day, make sure you’re ready and focused.

“We work so hard all season, travelling miles and miles, to be in this position — and to lose in that way was hard to take.

“But there are four games to go — five including the Watford one [in the FA Cup Final]. If someone said that at the start of the season we’d bite their hand off and play these games [for a never-done-before domestic Treble]. It’s a great position to be in, something if we don’t do we’ll be very disappointed in ourselves.”

“A big, big part of being a Man United player is that you can deal with the pressure and be a leader.

“The proof is on the pitch. It’s got to be happening on the pitch.

“We’ve had some good meetings.

“There have been some words said — the truth of course — and there are players there that stand up and show they want to help take this club forward.”
