How to watch today's Manchester City vs Manchester United Premier League game: Live stream, TV channel, and Manchester derby start time

Leaning towards the bottom half of the Premier League standings table, although only after three gameweeks this season, Manchester City and Manchester United are set for a derby face-off at Etihad Stadium on Sunday.

The cross-city rivals have registered just the one league win, but what may be more concerning for Pep Guardiola's men is that they have suffered one defeat more than United at this stage.

City are coming off a 2-1 loss at Brighton, while Ruben Amorim's troops picked their first win of the season just ahead of the international break as the Red Devils edged Burnley 3-2.

Here, GOAL brings you everything you need to know about how to watch, including TV channel, streaming details and more.

Manchester City team news

The likes of Josko Gvardiol, Savinho, Mateo Kovacic, Marcus Bettinelli, Kalvin Phillips, Omar Marmoush and Rayan Cherki all constitute the hosts' injury list.

Guardiola's concerns do not end there, as John Stones, Phil Foden and Abdukodir Khusanov are doubts for the derby.

Erling Haaland will continue to lead the line of attack.

Manchester United team news

Amorim will not only be unable to call upon the services of Lisandro Martinez due to a knee injury, but Matheus Cunha, Mason Mount and Diogo Dalot are also doubts.

Bryan Mbeumo and captain Bruno Fernandes finished the job in the Burnley win, while Cunha, if passed fit, is likely to get the nod ahead of Joshua Zirkzee up front.
