Man City vs Man United: TV channel, live stream, squad news & preview

Manchester City can rub salt into the wounds of their bitter rivals Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday as victory would see them secure the Premier League title.

Pep Guardiola's side are 16 points clear of the Red Devils coming into the game and a win would put them 19 points ahead with just six games left to play.

However, they will have to pick themselves up following a disastrous 3-0 Champions League quarter-final defeat to Liverpool on Wednesday, which leaves them with a mountain to climb.

Jose Mourinho and his charges have little chance of winning the league, but they will be desperate to avoid the humiliation of effectively handing the title over to the rivals.

Match Preview


Antonio Valencia Manchester United Leroy Sane Manchester CityGetty

Man City could wrap up the Premier League title in record fashion on Saturday and such a scenario would represent a real changing of the guard in a city that has been synonymous with the Red Devils for decades. 

Should they beat United to secure the title at the Etihad, City will not only inflict humiliation on their rivals, they will also usurp them in the record books by clinching glory with six games to go - that is, one more than Alex Ferguson's 2001 title-winning team.

Guardiola may opt to field a weakened team against Mourinho's side, but his players have been left licking their wounds following a heavy defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League and will no doubt be eager to bounce back with a morale-boosting title-winning performance, which would leave them buoyant ahead of the second leg next week.

The last meeting between the sides took place at Old Trafford in December, with City emerging triumphant with a 2-1 scoreline thanks to a Nicolas Otamendi goal and United will be aiming to stall the celebrations by exacting revenge at Eastlands. 

Thoughts of retribution and delaying their rivals from getting their hands on the trophy aside, three points will also serve Mourinho's men well as they endeavour to ensure a second-place finish ahead of Liverpool
