Where to watch Manchester United vs Manchester City in Premier League for free?

In their initial match following Kevin De Bruyne’s heartfelt departure announcement, Manchester City journeys to Old Trafford to face their historically vocal rivals, Manchester United, in the latest edition of the Manchester derby.

Pep Guardiola’s squad returned from the international hiatus with a simple 2-0 victory against Leicester City in midweek, while their adversaries suffered their 13th defeat of the Premier League season away to Nottingham Forest.

A player that Manchester United supporters and all other rival fans might be relieved to see leaving, the brilliant and enchanting De Bruyne will confront the Red Devils for the last time on derby day this weekend, having stated that he will depart Manchester City once his contract concludes this summer.

The long-serving Belgian midfielder will end a shining 10-year spell at the Etihad Stadium, but not before aiming to support City’s ongoing quest for regular Champions League qualification, which received a timely boost against Ruud van Nistelrooy’s Leicester.

Jack Grealish’s eagerly awaited first Premier League goal of the season and Omar Marmoush’s fifth allowed Manchester City to secure a comfortable victory over the Foxes, thereby snapping a two-match losing streak in the top tier and momentarily pushing themselves back into the top four of the standings.

While De Bruyne is fit, motivated, and prepared to embrace the spotlight in his final Manchester derby, the same cannot be claimed for Erling Haaland, whose serious ankle injury will keep him out for the next five to seven weeks. The imposing Scandinavian is part of Manchester City’s injured five, which also includes Rodri (ACL), Nathan Ake (foot), John Stones (thigh), and Manuel Akanji (groin), but Abdukodir Khusanov is anticipated to be cleared after being omitted in midweek.

Continuing with the trend of Manchester teams losing away games, Ruben Amorim’s Red Devils were troubled by a former player at Nottingham Forest’s City Ground during midweek, as Anthony Elanga further emphasized Manchester United’s attacking transfer shortcomings.

Amorim’s timid offense had no response in the 85 minutes remaining as their four-match unbeaten streak across all competitions came to a close, along with a similar run without a loss in the Premier League alone, placing the top half of the table well out of their reach.

Trophies and a sought-after Champions League spot could still be obtained through the Europa League – Lyon is on the calendar for the first leg of their quarter-final next Thursday – but failing to register a clean sheet in any of their last 12 home fixtures may undermine the prospect of continental success.

On the hosts’ end, none of Lisandro Martinez (knee), Amad Diallo (ankle), Ayden Heaven (ankle), Luke Shaw (calf) or Jonny Evans (back) will leave the infirmary in time for Sunday, while Matthijs de Ligt is now a new concern with an “issue” acquired against Forest.

Harry Maguire should thus ready himself for a return to the back three, but Amorim informed reporters on Friday that Kobbie Mainoo (unspecified) might be fit to come back, although he will not be able to finish the complete 90 minutes.
