Hello and welcome to LIVE updates of the Premier League showdown between Man Utd and Man City at Old Trafford. It’s Red versus Blue in the 183rd Manchester derby and, as ever, there’s a lot more than bragging rights at stake. Kick off 17.30 GMT.

Fred hits the deck after a collision with De Bruyne. He's clutching his hip but, despite the grimace, looks okay to continue.

STAT: Six of the past eight Manchester derbies in all competitions have been won by the away team. There have only been three home wins in 13.

H2H: This is the 151st Manchester derby in the top-flight. United have won 58, City 45 and there have been 47 draws. United won three of the four meetings in all comps last season and are targeting a third straight derby win for the first time since 2009.

KICK OFF! City get this derby up and running.

A win here for either side will see them move up to fourth. United would go level on points with Chelsea and two behind leaders Spurs. City would be one behind Chelsea and three off top.

FAB FERNANDES: United's No.18 has been involved in more Premier League goals than any other player since his United debut in February, scoring 15 and contributing 11 assists in just 24 games.

WILL IT BE 17th TIME LUCKY? Raheem Sterling has not scored in 16 Premier League appearances against Manchester United. If he nets today, he could be the first Englishman to notch in a Premier League Manchester derby for City since James Milner in 2013.

Marcus Rashford: “As a kid I never looked beyond Manchester United. In my mind it wouldn't sit right for me to be pulling on another shirt. I just want to do my best for the club while I'm here. Long term hopefully. All the good things that have happened this year have come from Manchester United giving me an opportunity as a kid. I don't just remember the last year or the last five years.”

Pogba might be starting this evening, but ex-Man Utd striker Dimitar Berbatov says it is time for the Frenchman to leave.

GOSSIP: Manchester City go head-to-head with Real Madrid over Erling Haaland and Manchester United could swap Paul Pogba for Cristiano Ronaldo or Paulo Dybala.

Guardiola on United’s inconsistency: " (I'm) thinking we're going to face the best version of them, (but we should) talk a lot about what we have to do. It's not a knockout game, it's three more points. Important of course, because of the quality of the opponent but there are a lot of fixtures to come and we try to win our games."

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer: “Any player that plays football should be disappointed when you lose a game. They want to bounce back and win the next one. We've handled setbacks well, during games and before the next game. It's important not to press the panic button because you can't win every game. Some games will hurt more than others and have more consequences than others. We're facing the reality of no Champions League and we move on."

Paul Pogba returns for United as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer makes two changes to the side that lost to RB Leipzig. Fred also comes in. Meanwhile, City bring back a number of star names after Pep Guardiola gave plenty of fringe players a run out against Marseille. There are eight changes in total with Gabriel Jesus leading the line. Sergio Aguero has been left out of the squad despite a goalscoring return from injury in midweek.
