12'
Fernandes gifts away possession to the visitors. City in total control here.
10'
United cannot keep possession. Ole keeps talking about "starting on the front foot" in games, have yet to see that actually materialise in recent weeks.

8'
Bailly could have left it but decided to try and divert Cancelo's ball to the near post away but ended up slicing it into his own net.
7'
OWN GOAL! Seconds after Gundogan missed a sitter, Cancelo's cross is diverted into his own net by Bailly. Another mistake to add to his one against Atalanta.

Pep Guardiola believes Man City cannot beat Manchester United 5-0 as Liverpool did a fortnight ago because football is not “copy paste”.
“We do not have the quality to play like Liverpool play so we play a different way,” he said.
“Football is not ‘copy paste’. After this defeat they changed the setup [to 3-5-2] against Tottenham and it worked, and kept it against Atalanta, but after they got an injury to Raphaël Varane they changed back to a four."

12:05
United are currently fifth and can go joint third with City with a win today.
A win for Pep's side would move them up to second.
12:00
United look to be going three at the back where they have more success, but are without Varane today. Where is Phil Jones when you need him eh.
De Bruyne is set to be playing the role of a false nine with no Grealish today following some criticism over his performances.
11:55
Rashford also has a slight knock and is on the bench.
11:50
Surprisingly in the last four Manchester derbies, United have won 3 and drawn one. Although Pep's response was City have finshed higher than their neighbours in those seasons.
