Manchester City vs Manchester United LIVE: Paul Pogba inspires stunning turnaround to deny hosts

Re-live all the action from the Etihad

Pep Guardiola: Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan were offered to me

Manchester City have the chance to wrap up the Premier League title earlier than any top-flight champion before them, with the added bonus of doing so against their fierce rivals Manchester United.

Pep Guardiola’s side will guarantee their second trophy of the season if they beat United, having already secured the EFL Cup in February, but will hope that they do not suffer a repeat performance of the 3-0 hammering they suffered at the hands of Liverpool in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Sergio Aguero returns to the bench, with Guardiola rotating his side slightly with one eye on the Champions League quarter-final second leg next Tuesday, while United manager Jose Mourinho is able to select from a squad that is nearly at full fitness with only Sergio Romero and Daley Blind unlikely to feature.

Post-match reaction from Pep Guardiola

"We did absolutely everything. The qualities of the players from United can do the actions that they've done.

"It's OK. We're a bit sad for our people, especially to try to arrive in a good mood for next Tuesday.

"They found their game. They didn't think many, many things. This is Man United. We have done everything to win the game."

City will have to wait a little while longer to be crowned champions but today belongs to United after an incredible Paul Pogba-inspired comeback.

Goodnight!
