Manchester City v Manchester United (English Premier League)
League Rankings: Man City 1st Man United 2nd
Useful facts: It's a never-ending rivalry as Manchester's biggest foes are back at it again this coming Saturday. This time around, the meeting is at Etihad Stadium where the Red Devils, who have slowly regained goalscoring form, are in search of three points. Jose Mourinho's charges will hope to claim maximum points to keep the second spot intact and avoid being caught by an impressive Liverpool whom they are just three points adrift. Although the Citizens have seemingly secured the league title, surrendering to the Red Devils would be the last thing on their list following their record-breaking league run. The previous Manchester derby ended in a 1-0 win in favour of Pep Guardiola's side.

Useful facts: Although the Spanish giants are out of the title race, there are plenty of points to play for.
