Manchester United welcome rivals Manchester City to Old Trafford in a re-run of last month's derby clash. Pep Guardiola's men emerged victorious then, beating United 2-1, but Jose Mourinho will be out for a convincing victory tonight as he attempts to inflict revenge on his old adversary. But like Mourinho, Guardiola has just as much reason to win. His side are without a victory in five which could extend to six should City fall short at Old Trafford - an unwelcome record for the Catalan. Follow the latest here.

Just over an hour to go to the second Manchester derby of the season. Last time the two teams met, both had a 100 per cent record, now neither seem able to buy a win - regardless of the millions spent in the summer. 

There is also a pretty decent undercard with West Ham vs Chelsea and Southampton vs Sunderland, but here we are focusing on the main event - Mourinho vs Guardiola II.

Interestingly, yet again there is no place for Henrikh Mkhitaryan. Here's what our Chief Football Correspondent Mark Ogden wrote about the ex-Dortmund man this week.
