Manchester Derby LIVE: How to watch the Manchester United vs Manchester City live streaming in your country, India:
Manchester United have had the upper hand recently in the derbies against Manchester City. The Red Devils are unbeaten in the last four league matches against their arch rivals Manchester City.
So it will be interesting to see how Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men approach this game as a bad result can leave future implications on the Norwegian tactician.
Although the Cityzens are above their rivals in the points table, they recently lost 2-0 against Crystal Palace where French centre back Aymeric Laporte was sent off. So it promises to be a cracker of a game with both sides even poised ahead of the big clash.
