Manchester City host Manchester United at the Etihad this evening
Hello good afternoon and welcome along to our big Super Sunday coverage of the Manchester Derby.
Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho resume rivalries this evening as Manchester City host Manchester United at the Etihad.
The first Manchester derby of the 2018-19 season arrives with both clubs facing difficult questions: United's are on the pitch, with City's off it.
United have recovered from a disastrous start to the campaign, but a nine-point gap between them and first-placed City after just 10 games means anything less than a win could all but spell the end of their title hopes before December has even begun.
The Premier League champions, meanwhile, are facing serious allegations of financial wrongdoing after German magazine Der Spiegel - via the platform Football Leaks - claimed city had misled Uefa to avoid Financial Fair Play penalties.
A win for United would move them to within six points of their rivals but defeat would leave them 12 behind their neighbours.
Kickoff is at 4:30 PM GMT.
Stay with us for all the updates.
