Title-chasing Manchester City host local rivals Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon as they look to close in on table-topping Liverpool.
United, meanwhile, look to lay down a marker after a surprise home defeat to Fulham last weekend.
Viewers can watch the game live on Sky Sports Main Event, with coverage set to begin at 3 PM. Kick-off is set for 3:30 PM.
City currently sit in 2nd place heading into the match, just one point behind league leaders Liverpool. Pep Guardiola’s side has won four of their last five Premier League fixtures, with the only blip being a 1-1 draw at home to Chelsea.
Erling Haaland also bagged five goals against Luton in the FA Cup midweek, four of which were assisted by Kevin De Bruyne.
United have been in decent form themselves, winning four of their last five Premier League encounters. However, their last league outing was a disappointing 2-1 home defeat to Fulham, their first league loss since December 30th.
With Rasmus Hojlund out injured, the Red Devils struggle to create and convert chances. Erik ten Hag’s side did, however, secure a 1-0 FA Cup win over Nottingham Forest, booking their place in the quarter-finals.
