Manchester City vs. Manchester United: Live stream, Time, TV schedule & how to watch Premier League online

Right then. Today’s order of business. One, beat Manchester City, a team that have lost only once in the league all season, and not at all at home. Two, by doing so, ensure that the Premier League title does not get awarded to the other lot at the end of a Manchester derby. And three, follow on from Liverpool’s win in the Champions League and precipitate a full-blown crisis in Pep Guardiola’s champions elect, ensuring that they don’t win a single more game all season, gifting United the title. Easy peasy. Right?

We pretty much know what we’ll get from Mourinho: United will sit deep and look to spring City on the break. The big unknown is City: after that 3-0 demolition at Anfield, where are their heads? Where is the head of their manager? And what line-up is he going pick? The logic of the table and the calendar suggest he should pick the kids, but surely a derby warrants a full-strength side?

As for United’s line-up, the big question is, as ever, will Paul Pogba be trusted with a start? He played 90 minutes against Swansea last weekend, but a relegation candidate at home is a rather different prospect to the league leaders away. TBB hopes we’ll see him on the pitch, but expects to see him on the bench.
