  • Who will win the Manchester derby?

    Manchester City and Manchester United come face-to-face for the first time this season on Saturday, with both teams sat pretty at the top of the table with 100% records.

    Things have changed since last season, with new managers and a host of new high-profile players, all of which only makes the fixture more mouth-watering.

    Here are a few places Sport360 suggests you could go to see the action live.
