Man City vs Manchester United LIVE: Premier League result and final score as Amad Diallo turns dramatic derby

12 mins

United are enjoying a little more success with their possession in the last few minutes, though Amad is now flagged offside. The away side re trying to stifle City at the moment, in a similar way to how they did against Arsenal.

Mason Mount is down injured, and he looks like he’ll have to come off.

10 mins

A real lack of quality from Dalot as he cuts back outside to make the space and then clips in a cross to nobody, straight out of play. The Portuguese was notably poor in the loss against Forest, so can he recover to produce better today?

8 mins

Both sides have been guilty of giving up possession far too easily on a couple of occasions, though neither have been in dangerous positions. There’s plenty of nerves at the Etihad.

Amad tries to clip in a ball to the overlapping Fernandes, but Walker was covering well.

6 mins

United break quickly, led by Dalot, but his cross is easily collected by Ederson. They come again, enjoying their first bit of sustained possession so far in the match, but it ends up back with Onana.

4 mins

De Bruyne’s cross is aimed towards Haaland at the back post but Martinez does well to head behind for a corner. That battle could be a mismatch if it happens too often, though.

3 mins

Doku thinks he’s beaten Mazraoui down the wing but the ball went out. That battle will be key today, and Dku has had the better of it early on.

City with the lion’s share of possession so far.

1 min

It is Nunes starting at left-back for City, with Silva on the right wing.

For United, Mazraoui is right wing-back, with Diallo starting in the advanced midfield position alongside Mount.

Plenty of high pressing early on for the home side.

The home side get us underway at the Etihad. There’s already been plenty of news to note so far today, and we’re sure to have some more soon.

Both sides are in the tunnel at the Etihad and we’re around five minutes from kick-off.

Manchester United have lost both of their last two Premier League games, last losing three in a row within a single season in December 2015 under Louis van Gaal. New manager Ruben Amorim is yet to lose three on the bounce in his top-flight managerial career, with this his 172nd such match across Portugal’s Primeira Liga and England’s Premier League.

39% of Man Utd’s goals conceded in the Premier League this season have come from corner situations (7/18), the highest share in the division. So far in 2024, they’ve conceded 15 goals from corners, just three fewer than they did in 2021 (8), 2022 (4) and 2023 (6) combined.

Ruben Amorim has already beaten Manchester City this season, with his Sporting CP side winning 4-1. Only one manager has beaten the reigning Premier League champions with two different sides in a single campaign, with Alan Pardew beating Man City with both Newcastle United and Crystal Palace in 2014-15.
