Manchester City have dominated English football since Pep Guardiola took over as manager in 2016. The Spaniard went through his learning curve in his debut season at the Etihad Stadium but has since set the league alight with back-to-back Premier League titles and even a historic treble for the club last season.
While Pep Guardiola has taken Manchester City to new heights, Manchester United have struggled to catch up. Despite the gap in quality, Manchester United vs Manchester City is one of the most exciting clashes in English football, so when are these two teams locking horns again, and where can you watch the match?
Man United vs Man City Date, Venue & Time
Manchester United have three more matches in October, and the last one for the month is the Manchester Derby on the 29th. Erik Ten Hag’s men will host Man City at Old Trafford for their first encounter of the season, and the Dutchman will hope Guardiola’s men do not have the same success they enjoyed at Old Trafford last season.
The match kicks off at 4:30 PM UK time, so fans in Manchester for the match will have to be in the stadium a little earlier. Although the Manchester Derby has become one-sided in recent years, it remains one of the most anticipated matches in English football, so you should expect a packed stadium and plan ahead to get a ticket.
What is Man United vs Man City ticket Price & how to buy it?
If you’re hoping to get a season ticket ahead of the Manchester Derby, you may have to reconsider because these tickets usually sell out even before the beginning of the season or at the start. However, if you still wish to get a season ticket, you must sign up for the club’s waiting list and watch out for opportunities when they come up.
Getting a season ticket at this point might be far-fetched, so you may have to settle for a regular matchday ticket. According to GOAL, the average ticket price for the Manchester United vs. Manchester City match is £36.99. Ticket prices usually vary depending on factors such as stand and age group.
United also have hospitality packages, which usually include luxurious matchday experiences.
How to watch Man United vs Man City live
There are several ways to stream the Manchester Derby live, but by far the easiest way is to watch via Sky Sports. Sky Sports provides some of the best coverage of English football. However, streaming services do not come cheap on Sky Sports, so you may have to explore other options before settling for the best way to stream the Derby game.
BT Sport 1 and BT Sport Ultimate will also broadcast the game in the UK. In the US, viewers can watch the action-packed Manchester Derby on FuboTV.
Whichever way you decide to watch the game, you can be sure of an action-filled, entertaining encounter. Manchester City have slipped in the Premier League after losing their last two league matches to Wolves and Arsenal. The Gunners laboured to a 1-0 win over the reigning Premier League champions, courtesy of a late goal from Gabriel Martinelli, which earned him praise from Mikel Arteta.
Ahead of the Derby, Pep Guardiola will also pick his words carefully in the press after being accused of racism when he called a Wolves player “the Korean guy” some weeks ago.
