Will Wales overcome England at Twickenham?
Manchester City continue their quest for an unprecedented fourth Premier League title against rivals Manchester United on Sunday.
While Pep Guardiola’s side have won eight of their ten League games, recent victories against Brentford and Bournemouth have come by only a single goal. Chasing a relentless Liverpool and an improving Arsenal at the top of the table, it hasn’t always looked totally convincing
Still, Erling Haaland and Kevin De Bruyne were at their very best during Tuesday’s 6-2 win over Luton in the FA Cup with the latter laying on four assists for the former five-goal haul. With Phil Foden starring too, City look full of goals.
After Liverpool’s last gasp-win over Nottingham Forest on Saturday, City are four points off the pace at the top heading into this match, before they travel to Anfield next weekend.
United, meanwhile, followed up their dramatic loss to Fulham last time out with a reasonably unconvincing win away at Forest in the FA Cup.
Here’s everything you need to know about the game.
Date, kick-off time and venue
Man City vs Man Utd is scheduled for a 3.30pm kick-off time on Sunday 3 March, 2024.
The Etihad Stadium in Manchester will host.

Man City vs Man Utd team news
Jack Grealish is City’s only major absentee and is expected to be ruled out of action until after the international break later this month, albeit Josko Gvardiol is yet to return to action. Guardiola last week confirmed, however, the defender was getting close to making his comeback.
Worryingly, Haaland has declared he is “finally feeling good” after a frustrating season on the injury front.
For Man United, Harry Maguire will likely miss the game. Sofyan Amrabat could start at left-back, with Luke Shaw injured. Rasmus Hojlund will miss the derby, along with Mason Mount, Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez and Anthony Martial.
