Following the 2-1 victory against CSKA Moscow to seal Manchester United's passage into the knock out phases of the UEFA Champions League, José 'Uchenna' Mourinho and his warriors will welcome noisy neighbours, Manchester City for the clash of the season so far, the 'El-Manchisco' derby.
Here's all you need to know about the clash.
Kick-off: 16.30 GMT (5.30pm Naija time)
Venue: Old Trafford
Competition: English Premier League
Previous clashes : Total = 175; Man Utd Wins = 75; Man City wins = 48; Draws = 52
Same Game last season: United suffered their only loss at Old Trafford, and last at Old Trafford till date.
Center Referee: Michael Oliver. The 32-year old has developed a reputation for giving United players red cards in big matches; Herrera vs Chelsea last season, Di Maria vs Arsenal, Smalling vs Man City in 2014/2015. ('Oga Mike', please we don't want that kind of rough play on Sunday oh).
3. Our 'striker-in-chief', Romelu 'Timaya' Lukaku scored in both of Everton's league matches against City last season. (In Patience Jona's voice, 'Continue'!).
4. Jose 'Uchenna' Mourinho has won just 4 of his 19 managerial meetings with Pep Guardiola in all competitions(W4, L7, D8). (Please, wherever Pep dropped that 'Otumokpo', we cast and destroy!).
5. If City win this match, they will officially hold the record for the longest run of consecutive wins in English League history - 14 wins. ('Abeg oh', this record shall not be broken at Old Trafford, it is not our portion).
