MANCHESTER UNITED will host local rivals Manchester City in a mouth-watering Premier League clash on Sunday afternoon.
The Red Devils go into the game after three wins on the spin, with their most recent triumph coming over Copenhagen in midweek.
Heroic performances from Harry Maguire and Andre Onana earned Erik ten Hag's side their first Champions League win of the season on Tuesday night.
Man Utd have made an underwhelming start to the new Premier League season, sitting 8th in the table after nine games.
Meanwhile, last season's Treble winners, Man City, are back to winning ways after being on the receiving end of back-to-back defeats in the league prior to the international break.
Since then, Pep Guardiola's side have beaten high-flying Brighton with 10 men and won 3-1 away at Swiss champions Young Boys in Europe on Wednesday night.
