Follow Sportsmail’s coverage of the Barclays Premier League as Manchester United host Manchester City at Old Trafford in a huge derby.
The battle of Manchester sees the champions take on one of the leading teams in the title race as Manuel Pellegrini’s side travel to the Theatre of Dreams, with City starting as favourites on United’s territory for the first time in Premier League history.

Jack Gaughan reports:Â Sir Bobby Charlton maintains that Manchester United have definitely picked the right man in David Moyes, despite the club’s turbulent campaign.
United have struggled so far this season – with Moyes under intense pressure from some quarters – and go into Tuesday’s derby with City as underdogs at home for the first time in their history.
But while Charlton concedes the club have played ‘really, really badly’ this year, he rejects the suggestion that it’s time for a change at the top.
