GOOD MORNING
Hello and welcome to SunSport’s live coverage of the 186th Manchester derby at Old Trafford.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Manchester United take on Manchester City for the first time since their 2-0 triumph at the Etihad back in March.
The Red Devils came out on top to inflict one of only six league defeats on City last season as Pep Guardiola’s side went on to lift their fifth Premier League title.
But City’s title defence has got off to a troubled start after they succumbed to a 2-0 home defeat to Crystal Palace last week.
They were also beaten 1-0 by Spurs on the opening day and find themselves in third, five points behind leaders Chelsea.
Man Utd find themselves in fifth after just one win in their last five league games.
They bounced back from a 5-0 humiliation at Old Trafford by rivals Liverpool a fortnight ago to beat Spurs in a convincing 3-0 win in North London last week.
Solskjaer will know that a win this afternoon would put his side level on points with City in the league and would relieve some of the pressure piling on top of him.
Meanwhile, City will know that anything but a win would give Liverpool and Chelsea the chance to extend their lead at the top.
Stick with us as we bring you live build up and team news in the count down to kick-off at The Theatre of Dreams at 12.30pm.
