The Premier League offers one of its marquee games as the weekend's penultimate game. The game will begin at 4.30 p.m. GMT on March 6, 2022.
It will take place at Manchester's Etihad Stadium.
Title-chasing Manchester City will play Manchester United, who are battling to qualify for next season's Champions League.
It's one of the most unpredictable derbies in European football. Granted, City have largely had the upper hand over their rivals in recent years, but United have recently surprised at the Etihad, albeit after being thoroughly outplayed at Old Trafford in November.
With Liverpool in ominous form and the race for the top four heating up, both teams have an awful lot to play for.
Here’s everything you need to know
Manchester City vs Manchester United team news
Pep Guardiola rested Rodri, Raheem Sterling, and Kevin De Bruyne for the midweek win over Peterborough and has all three players available for selection as of now.
Bernardo Silva and John Stones were also named to the FA Cup-winning squad and could step in for Nathan Ake and Jack Grealish. Meanwhile, Kyle Walker is expected to return to the starting lineup following his suspension.
The question of whether Cristiano Ronaldo will start for Manchester United is an intriguing subplot. Hugely criticized in recent weeks, many of their recent victories away at City have come through ferocious, counter-attacking football, which the 37-year-old is simply not suited to.
Prediction : Manchester City 1-1 Manchester United
