Is Manchester United vs Man City on TV? Channel, time and how to watch Premier League fixture online

Manchester United will host the first Manchester Derby of the season at Old Trafford against Manchester City in the Premier League.

Erik ten Hag‘s side enters this clash with their bitter rivals on the back of consecutive wins, including an emotional night at Sheffield United and a victory against FC Copenhagen, thanks to the heroics of Harry Maguire and Andre Onana.

This match signifies a significant step up in opposition for United, as they face Pep Guardiola’s treble-winning Manchester City, who defeated them in last season’s FA Cup final at Wembley.

United emerged victorious in the last meeting between these teams at Old Trafford, staging a dramatic comeback. City will be seeking revenge as they attempt to close the gap to Tottenham and Arsenal in the Premier League table.
