What channel is Man City vs Man Utd? Kick-off time, TV and live stream details

Manchester United will look to retain their spot in the top four of the Premier League with a victory at rivals Manchester City on Sunday afternoon.

But that is a lot easier said than done against the Premier League leaders, although they have won on their last three trips to the Etihad Stadium, yet three points here would be a real statement of intent from Ralf Rangnick’s side.

Pep Guardiola’s title chasers will be keen to increase the points gap between them and second-placed Liverpool once more by beating their city rivals after dropping points in two of their last five games.

Nonetheless, City have lost just three times in the league all season and returned to winning ways last weekend with a 1-0 victory over Everton following a surprise 3-2 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur a week before.

United will be feeling refreshed after having the week off following a disappointing 0-0 draw with Watford last weekend, while City progressed to the FA Cup quarter-finals on Tuesday after beating Peterborough United 2-0 in the fifth round.

Can Man Utd pull off another surprise win at the Etihad for the fourth time in a row? Let us know what you think in the comments section below.

Man City vs Man Utd will kick-off at 4:30pm on Sunday, March 6 at the Etihad Stadium.

The last meeting between these two sides came in the reverse fixture back in November when Pep Guardiola’s side ran out comfortable 2-0 winners at Old Trafford in the Premier League.

An early own goal from Eric Bailly and a neat finish from Bernardo Silva on the stroke of half-time was enough to ensure that City grabbed the bragging rights over their rivals once more in the Manchester derby.

Pep Guardiola will be expected to rotate the squad again following the FA Cup victory over Peterborough in midweek, as this now becomes a must win game for his side with Liverpool gaining ground in the race for the title.

But the Spaniard could be without four players for this contest, with Ruben Dias (thigh), Nathan Ake (knock) and Cole Palmer (ankle) all ruled out, while goalkeeper Zack Steffen (back) remains a doubt.

As for Ralf Rangnick, his squad remains relatively injury free and after a week off to prepare for this contest, he may well stick with the same side that drew with Watford last week.

Scott McTominay looks set to return following his recovery from illness, while it remains to be seen as to when Edinson Cavani will play again following his groin injury which has kept him out of action over the past month.
