Man United vs Man City

The 189th Manchester derby from Old Trafford sees Erik ten Hag and Pep Guardiola's sides go head to head.

Having said that, if the Red Devils do get revenge for the 6-3 humbling they suffered at the hands of their city rivals back in October, they will move just a point behind Pep Guardiola’s men and can perhaps begin to dream of a title charge. Man City still favourites despite a couple of recent wobbles and perhaps there’s value in Man Utd at almost 3/1 at home, given the form they are in [a hard-fought 3-0 win](/sport/football/manchester-united-charlton-carabao-cup-result-score-b2259734.html) over plucky League One side Charlton in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals. - Man Utd have lost the last three league meetings between the sides. City are in an intense battle for the title with Arsenal, currently trailing the Londoners by five points meaning they can scarcely afford to slip up, while United are competing with the likes of Newcastle, Tottenham and Liverpool for a top-four spot.

They hammered Manchester United 6-3 at the Etihad earlier in the season so they will be looking to find some of that energy today, but logic says that it will be a very different game. And it's the immeasurable factor that is so key to this fixture today, it's what makes it so exciting. The team bus has arrived and the players are already looking focussed. Eriksen rolls the ball right to Bruno, whose shot is dragged low and wide of the goal. As we can see, things are incredibly tight at the top of the Premier League tree, with just 4 points separating Manchester United from their city rivals. Great work from De Bruyne again, who did well to turn and run at the Manchester United defence before opening the play to the winger. "[Weghorst] is the type of striker we don’t have in this moment. He was played in behind Walker and burned away from the defender, but this time Ederson got out well to collect the ball as the striker ran into the box. I would prefer it to be at the Etihad, but it’s OK! The clearance from the home side was long and direct to martial, who ran down the left and almost set up Rashford for the tap-in. The forward took a knock just before the break and had to come off for treatment, so we will see if he is OK for the second half. Mahrez's cross was poor and failed to get off the ground.

Manchester United host Manchester City in a huge Manchester derby on Saturday, as Erik ten Hag and Pep Guardiola lock horns.

Erling Haaland and Kevin de Bruyne tore United apart in October and City will hope that duo can connect and that they can control the tempo of this game, especially in midfield. They have struggled against United in derby games in recent years but that wasn’t the case As for City, they make eight changes to the team which lost at Southampton in midweek as Haaland and De Bruyne are tasked with unlocking this suddenly very stingy United defense. His cross is blocked and then a cross is swung in but Ederson saves the header. In the form he’s in, this is the last thing Manchester United would have wanted. A tense, but intriguing, first half in the Manchester Derby. At the other end Phil Foden then goes down in the box under pressure from Casemiro but that is not a penalty kick. Felt like he was offside most of the time he tried to get involved in attacks. Riyad Mahrez finds Kevin de Bruyne who dinks in a delightful cross and Grealish powers home the header at the back post. Marcus Rashford was flagged for offside and the goal from Bruno Fernandes didn’t stand, but VAR was used and it now stands. There are several rulings here which seems to suggest what Marcus Rashford did for the Bruno Fernandes goal is offside. Jack Grealish had put City ahead after jumping off the bench but late goals from Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford grabbed the win for United.

Man United beat Man City in the Premier League on Saturday and we'll bring you reaction from the match in our live blog.

United have youngsters on the bench in comparison. City were solid enough but cautious in that first half, up against a United side that seemed reticent to attack too much. A Jack Grealish goal looked to have clinched City's tenth win in their last 15 games at Old Trafford, only for a hugely controversial refereeing decision see the Blues collapse to defeat against a United side that offered little until they went behind. The City end was as silent as a grave, the atmosphere in their section morbid. Marcus Rashford's winner was the cue for a Manchester City staff member to vacate his seat. Martial was ineffective in the first half, though, as both sides looked to break the deadlock. Erik ten Hag wheeled away in celebration so wildly when Rashford struck he almost ended up in the Stretford End.
