United's first big chance and it falls to Harry Maguire who meets a free-kick and gets the better of Ruben Dias before sending a header wide. That's lifted the home fans.

Luke Shaw has been caught jumping for the ball with Kyle Walker. He holds his head but is OK to carry on. Then Cristiano Ronaldo is caught late by Gabriel Jesus. Michael Oliver is being kept busy in these opening exchanges.

Man United need to keep it tight and do something to get the crowd going early on, a really good tackle, and not to concede any chances early on.

It's a big day for the crowd as well. It sometimes seems as though the inconsistency in results has seen the crowd get on the backs of these players.

The crowd is up for it now, but they have to keep this up.

First shot in anger and it comes from Bernardo Silva who creates space for himself inside the box but his attempt sails over the bar into the Stretford End.

Cristiano Ronaldo is not the problem. Without him, they wouldn’t be doing so well in the Champions League - they’d be near the bottom. United have never been a pressing team under Ole. They say Ronaldo doesn’t run in behind but he scores goals. That’s why he’s the best in the world with Messi.

Ready? Michael Oliver is about to get the derby under way.

Solskjaer and Guardiola embrace and now there's a tribute ahead of Remembrance Sunday.

Manchester City

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, speaking to Sky Sports: “For them [the City players] it is not their first important game, or the first derby, or the first time they have played here. The players are professional, they football for these kind of games, it is normal.”

On Jack Grealish’s omission: “We wanted a left-footed player on the left and a right-footed player on the right.”

City are first to emerge from the tunnel swiftly followed by United's players. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is waving to fans and giving a thumbs up as he makes his way along the touchline to the dug out.

Manchester City have not scored a goal against Manchester United in 275 minutes - four hours and 35 minutes - of Premier League action.

United are unbeaten in the last four top-flight meetings with their neighbours - three wins and one draw - since a 2-0 defeat at Old Trafford in April 2019.

Cracking atmosphere inside Old Trafford. Boos as Blue Moon rings out at the City end. One United fan has taken his top off and is twirling it around his head.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on United's first home game since the 5-0 humiliation by Liverpool - and what to expect against City: "We have moved on from that one. It's in the history books. The mindset is positive.

"We need a performance. This is a game where we have to work hard, suffer a lot and believe in ourselves. We don’t take past results for granted. You need to earn it."

Final stretches.
