The first Manchester Derby of the season comes at an interesting time for both clubs. City are building momentum under new manager Enzo Maresca while United are attempting to move on from a summer that raised questions about their transfer market strategy.

After conceding two goals in each of their three league games so far, Manchester United have made their worst defensive start to a season since 1972. Meanwhile, Manchester City would win their opening four Premier League games for a record seventh time with victory at Old Trafford.

United got the better of City in last season’s league meeting at the Theatre of Dreams. A lot has changed since then, but the Manchester Derby is always one of English soccer’s fiercest fixtures.

Here is your complete guide on how to watch today’s Premier League fixture, including kick-off times, broadcast networks, and online streaming options.

What to watch for

Michael Carrick insists Manchester United’s current outlook “is not that bad” despite the Old Trafford outfit winning just one of their first three league fixtures to start the season. Defeat in Sunday’s derby would make it harder for the United manager to deny the growing malaise around the club.

The failure to land a single new non-midfielder in the summer transfer window left some supporters with the sense Manchester United could have done more to prepare for the season ahead. Nonetheless, Carrick possesses the attacking quality to win any game.

Maresca boasts the same. Erling Haaland already has five goals to his name this season. Elliot Anderson and Enzo Fernandez are bedding in after blockbuster transfers. Rayan Cherki is growing in influence with almost every match he plays. Pep Guardiola might be gone, but Manchester City still have a fear factor.

Player to watch: Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United - If the hosts are to get the better of their rivals on Sunday, their best player will surely have to play a key role. Last season’s Premier League Player of the Season is a creative force of nature. Fernandes has the capacity to win the derby on his own.
