Where the derby will be won and lost amid Manchester United's dilemma and key Man City question

manchestereveningnews.co.uk

You won't find many bigger fixtures on the football calendar than Manchester United vs Manchester City. It has a 142-year history and the city rivals have claimed 20 of the 31 Premier League titles on offer over the past three decades.

The Blue half has had more to cheer recently given they won the last meeting between the two sides at Wembley in the FA Cup final on their way to the treble.

City will be favourites this weekend as well given they're three-time champions while United have been a work in progress this term under Erik ten Hag.

But the Reds come into the contest on the back of three straight wins and the Dutchman masterminded a victory in the corresponding fixture last term as United won 2-1 at Old Trafford.
