199th Manchester derby highlights Premier League weekend fixtures

The 199th Manchester derby between Manchester United and Manchester City is set to take place at Old Trafford on Sunday, September 13th at 7:30pm for fans in the UAE. Manchester United, who have struggled in their opening Premier League matches, will be looking to bounce back after a 2-0 defeat to Hull City, a comeback win over Ipswich Town, and a 2-2 draw with Everton.

Manager Michael Carrick will be keen to improve his side's defensive frailties, especially after conceding six goals in their last three league games. This fixture marks the 199th competitive match between the two rivals, with United boasting a slight edge with 81 wins to City's 62. Erling Haaland has been a constant threat for Manchester City, scoring five goals in three Premier League games already this season, but City have yet to display their full defensive solidity, as evidenced by their narrow 2-1 victory over Coventry in the Champions League.
