It's only the 11th match of the 38-game English Premier League season, but Saturday's 186th Manchester derby has major implications for both teams. Manchester United knows it can catch its intra-city rivals in the standings with a victory, while Manchester City will not want to lose more ground to Chelsea and Liverpool given their impressive runs thus far.
Man United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer appears to have saved his job after a 3-0 win at Tottenham Hotspur and a 2-2 Champions League draw at Atalanta . Those results coincided with a shift to a more sturdy 3-5-2 tactical formation, which he had to abandon in Italy due to a forced injury susbstitution. But Cristiano Ronaldo saved the day again with two goals, included a stoppage-time equalizer (9 goals in 11 matches).
It's been a mixed bag for Man City and Pep Guardiola in recent days. Elimination in the League Cup to West Ham was followed by a shock 2-0 home loss to Crystal Palace in the Premier League, leaving it five points away from leaders Chelsea. However, the team earned a convincing 4-1 midweek win against Club Brugge in the Champions League to get back on track.

While the bookmakers favor Man City entering this season's first derby, it's worth noting that Manchester United is undefeated in its last four Premier League matches (3-0-1) against the Citizens dating back to December 2019. And this time the Red Devils have Ronaldo, who was rumored to be in the crosshairs of Man City this past summer.

Manchester United vs. Manchester City live score
| 1H | 2H | Final | |
| Manchester United | 0 | — | — |
| Manchester City | 1 | — | — |
Goals:
MANC — own goal (Eric Bailly) — 7th min.
(All times Eastern)
29th min.: De Gea with a big save! Phil Foden sprung in behind and the play leads to a shot in the box by Gabriel Jesus, but De Gea tips it away. Two straight corners for Man City. De Gea stops first, Cancelo skies the other.
26th min.: What a chance for ManU! First sustained possession and it results in a Luke Shaw cross that finds Ronaldo for the volley, but Ederson blocks it and Man City clears. The Old Trafford crowd is back into it.
24th min.: It's been all Manchester City. Man United doesn't have anyone who wants the ball. Cristiano Ronaldo had one attacking run and he was offside on that play. Man United is essentially defending all game with five defenders.
14th min.: Long ball into the box by Kevin De Bruyne and it just misses Phil Foden, who was preparing for the volley hit. Man City looks comfortable. Man United can't get on the ball.
7th min.: Goal Manchester City! A Joao Cancelo cross from the left is deflected by Eric Bailly for an own goal. He went for the clearance, but the ball hit his shin and went past David De Gea.
Eric Bailly got plenty of plaudits for display v Atalanta but he was culpable for both goals + so poor then. Slow to get into line with other defenders + compounds error by swiping wildly. Boom or bust with him. #MUFC

6th min.: Man United chance! Set-piece header from Harry Maguire that finishes high. Maguire beat his marker to that ball from Luke Shaw.
3rd min.: Man City's Bernardo Silva with the first shot of the game and it's high and off target just inside the box. De Bruyne is playing wide right and Phil Foden out left.
1st min.: It's kickoff. Man City get us started.
8:30 a.m.: Managers handshake before a pregame remembrance:
8:27 a.m.: Teams are on the field. We're getting close.
8:19 a.m.: Interesting observation with both Sancho and Grealish on the bench:
It is quite indicative of modern football that both these clubs' biggest summer signings - Grealish and Sancho - are just dropped for this game. For most of football history, signings like that would just be fixtures in the team. Now, £180m on the bench with nobody too bothered.

Man City's last three club record signings– Sterling, Mahrez, and Grealish– are all sitting next to each other on the bench today. That's ridiculous

7:11 a.m.: Remember those Ronaldo to Man City reports this past summer?
6:58 a.m.: Kevin De Bruyne on manager Pep Guardiola:
6:45 a.m.: Much will be made of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's stats against Pep Guardiola (4W-3L-1D in eight matches) if Man United manage to stay undefeated for a fifth straight league game:
