Manchester United vs Manchester City, Live Premier League score: Rarely have the stakes been this high in the Manchester Derby

Manchester United, on the other hand, have not lost at home in the past 40 matches, a record in itself. Moreover, City have an eight-point lead over United in Premier League table and a win would help them make it 11.

2100 hrs IST: Hello and welcome to our coverage of the Manchester Derby. It is one of the biggest fixtures in the Premier League calendar simply because of the size of the two clubs involved in it. But rarely has a clash of the Manchester juggernauts carried stakes as high as this. City are carrying all the trademarks of a Pep Guardiola side this season and a win here would practically give them an open highway to the Premier League trophy. It is not a stretch to say that this match also carries implications beyond this season. Mourinho’s third season struggles are well documented, Liverpool and Arsenal have been trying to get their acts together for some time now, Chelsea look uncertain while it is doubtful how long Tottenham can hold on to their young stars without a trophy. United’s former ‘noisy’ neighbours are on the march and a win for City in this match would set them up for the season and beyond.
