Man Utd vs Man City LIVE: Premier League latest score and confirmed lineups


Manchester United host Manchester City as the derby takes centre stage in the Premier League this afternoon.

A snatch-and-grab job at the Etihad in December has perhaps been the best moment of Ruben Amorim’s time at Old Trafford with United showing some steel in games against their old rivals this season.

Despite those flashes of promise, they still start the day slumped in 13th place with all their eggs now firmly in the Europa League basket where Lyon await on Thursday.

City, who are now preparing for life without Kevin de Bruyne, are still chasing down Champions League qualification and victory today would go some way in securing that.

Metro’s LIVE blog will bring you all the match build-up, confirmed team news, minute-by-minute updates and goals throughout the afternoon.

Here’s how we have City lining up this afternoon…

Kevin de Bruyne’s final Manchester derby

After 10 glorious years in Manchester, Kevin de Bruyne will say goodbye at the end of the season.

Having lit up this fixture on so many occasions in the past, has he got one more in him?

Mason Mount to start?

Ruben Amorim LOVES Mason Mount. Since his arrival, the United boss has been desperate to get him into the side on a regular basis.

Having come through unscathed against Forest, he could get his chance today.

Man City team news ahead of kick-off

Erling Haaland will have no role to play this afternoon – or possibly for the rest of the season after the ankle injury suffered in the FA Cup win over Bournemouth.

Problems at the back remain with Manuel Akanji, John Stones and Nathan Ake still absent along with Rodrigo.

Omar Marmoush, with two in his last two, is expected to lead the line.

Man Utd team news ahead of kick-off

Ruben Amorim may have to reshuffle things at the back today with Matthijs de Ligt an injury doubt after picking up a knock midweek against Nottingham Forest.

The Netherlands international was not pictured among the other United stars arriving at the stadium.

Lisandro Martinez, Amad Diallo, Jonny Evans are definitely ruled out but Kobbie Mainoo is expected to be back in the squad today having recovered from a muscle problem that has kept him out since February.

And as mentioned, Luke Shaw could be set for a surprise inclusion today.

Luke Shaw back in the fold?

Whispers ahead of kick-off suggest there could be a rare Luke Shaw sighting today.

The left-back, who has not played since early December, was pictured arriving at Old Trafford with his teammates a little earlier today.

Confirmed team news will be here shortly.

Good afternoon!

Ladies and gents, it’s derby day.
