Manchester United U21s vs Man City live updates from Premier League 2 fixture and team news

Manchester United U21s take on Manchester City in the Premier League 2 today.

The two Manchester clubs will meet for the first time at any level this season. City's U21s won 2-0 against United in the semi-finals of the league-play offs last term and will be looking for another derby win.

Travis Binnion's side have won against Middlesbrough and Norwich in the league in the new campaign, and they will enter this game hungry to atone for the play-off defeat.

Binnion should have a strong side at his disposal and players who could leave before the transfer deadline could be involved.

Ben Wilkinson is set to oversee his first derby after being appointed at City U21 boss in the summer.
