Hello! And welcome along to The Athletic where we are tucking into the tasty feast of football that comes with the Manchester derby in the Premier League.
This is always one of the biggest matches in the domestic calendar as Manchester City take on Manchester United, with local bragging rights and a vital three points up for grab.
Today is also the start of the Michael Carrick era (of sorts) at Old Trafford as he looks to steady the ship. No pressure.
There are still few hours until kick-off so settle in as we bring you all the build-up, team news and more ahead of kick-off.
