Ruben Dias and John Stones look very comfortable at the back for Manchester City.
Man Utd 0-0 Man City
Fernandinho plays a great ball forward which Kevin de Bruyne leaves run to Raheem Sterling.
Sterling cuts inside but runs into Luke Shaw. Literally. Quarter-hearted penalty appeals but the ref isn't interested.
Man Utd 0-0 Man City
Anthony Martial picks out Scott McTominay and the Scot pings a shot over the bar from circa 30 yards.

Pep Guardiola just had a good old rant at the fourth official David Coote because the offside flag did not go up against Marcus Rashford just then.
It was a real old arm-waver.
It was offside but the officials are told not to raise their flags until the last moment.

I was just watching Anthony Martial and it's great to see him. The ball was pinged into him and as a centre-half you have to hold it and be really reliable and that's one thing he hasn't been very good at since he's been at United.
But he held the ball, stayed strong and kept possession for United. If he can keep doing that, they will find their way into this game.
Man Utd 0-0 Man City
Marcus Rashford is inches away from latching onto Fred's through-ball. Very close. The ball touched his toe on the way through to Zack Steffen.
Man Utd 0-0 Man City
Marcus Rashford is offside but play is allowed to continue for ages until he finds a team-mate. Flag eventually pops up.

Kris Love: Breaking: The Manchester Derby will be known as The Offside Derby.
Fred and McTominay look a little lost in this. Van de Beek would maybe have been a better fit for this game?

Mohammed Hafiz: Lindelof AND Maguire standing off De Bruyne giving him a chance to shoot and hit the post. Swear they don’t understand the basics of defending. Close the player down and stop the shot.
Man Utd 0-0 Man City
Rarish chance for United as Paul Pogba's shot is blocked. From the corner Harry Maguire glances a header just beyond Anthony Martial and Victor Lindelof.

This is a really good game. Man City have had most of the ball, United have been very, very organised.
It's a tough one tonight for Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire from what I have seen so far because yes, you have got Phil Foden down the left and - most of the time - Raheem Sterling down the right but the way they interchange these four players - Foden, Sterling, Mahrez and De Bruyne - it's hard for them to know when to go and when to stay.
Communication for the Manchester United defenders tonight is so important.
Man Utd 0-0 Man City
City have the ball in the back of the net again but it's disallowed - one of those new ones that wastes everyone's time really.
Phil Foden is miles offside as he runs onto Oleksandr Zinchenko's ball from the halfway line.
He surely knows it, as does Dean Henderson and everyone else watching.
But they have to keep the flag down until the move is over. Foden runs 50 yards and slots home - and then it's disallowed.
Man Utd 0-0 Man City
Kevin de Bruyne gets in behind on the right but his cross is hacked behind by Victor Lindelof.

Pep Guardiola's grey scarf must be that big, we can see it, from behind him!
And his coat is massive as well!

There are no fans inside Old Trafford tonight but there is plenty of noise.
The players are doing a lot of shouting and there are a couple of City staff members sat in the media area who are encouraging their team also.
Man Utd 0-0 Man City
City cut United apart with a very silky (copyright Dion Dublin) move - genuinely brilliant quick interchanges - but it doesn't end in a shot.

Manchester City look very silky at the moment. They are just passing and moving, one and two touches, making it look really simple.
Manchester United at the moment are chasing, conserving their energy, going only when they have to go.
But...City are in control of this one.

Dean Woodward: Is "Hans in Windsor" [19:52] suggesting someone who's won worlds best coach, to Champions Leagues, 2 Premier Leagues, and four cups with City, could be not as good as someone who's won..... the Norwegian league twice? wow
Plenty of big European matches on tonight in a dedicated live text.
It includes Athletic Bilbao v Barcelona in La Liga, Serie A leaders AC Milan take on reigning Italian champions Juventus and Mauricio Pochettino's first game in charge of Paris St-Germain.
Man Utd 0-0 Man City
Oleksandr Zinchenko just gets there to cut out Bruno Fernandes' through-ball to Marcus Rashford.
United are struggling to mount any attack at the moment but that would have been a big chance if Zinchenko hadn't stopped that.
