Manchester City vs Manchester United: Prediction, kick off time, team news, TV, live stream and h2h results

Liverpool maintained the pressure on City by beating West Ham 1-0 on Saturday to close the gap at the top to three points.

With Liverpool right behind them, City will be particularly focused for the 187th Manchester derby and a clash between neighbours that could go either way.
