Manchester United welcomes its neighbor City this Saturday, as part of the 20th day of the Premier League. Here’s where and when to follow the match, as well as the likely line-ups.
It has been a long time since the accounting gap has been so narrow between the two Manchester clubs when it comes to playing a derby. Separated by four small units (to the advantage of Skyblues), Manchester United and Manchester City face off this Saturday, on behalf of the twentieth Premier League round. The two clubs are in a positive dynamic, with an advantage for the Red Devils who remain on six wins in a row, in all competitions when the Cityzens have just been eliminated by Southampton in the quarter-finals of the League Cup (2-0) after having chained six games without defeat.

Opposite, Pep Guardiola could offer a 4-3-3 without much surprise with the attacking trio Mahrez-Haaland-De Bruyne. Silva in the middle, Walker and Cancelo on the wings in defense.
