City are six points clear at the top of the Premier League table but Liverpool have a game in hand and still have to travel to the Etihad later this term.

Pep Guardiola and co were stunned by Tottenham recently and can ill-afford any more slip ups with a confident Liverpool side pushing them close.

United also need a win as they look to bounce back form their drab draw with Watford last time out and keep up their push for a top-four place this season.

Arsenal and West Ham are just two points behind the Red Devils and the Gunners still have three games in hand on them.

This Sunday’s game will be vital for both clubs and for the make-up of how the top of the Premier League table will look as we reach the run-in for the 2021/22 campaign.

Man City v Man United: What has been said?

City ace Jack Grealish: “It is a big game on Sunday.

"It's going to be obviously my first Manchester derby at the Etihad Stadium so I can't wait.

"I've heard great things about the Etihad [on derby day], so I look forward to obviously seeing all the fans and it's going to be a massive day for us."

United star Bruno Fernandes: ''It's one of those games where we know what it means for the city, for the fans, for the club and for ourselves.

"It's a game we want to win at all costs.

''As I have said many times, we have dropped points on third place again [against Watford]. 

"I think that's the main thing for us, as we could be much closer to Chelsea.

"However, now is not the time to start thinking about how many points we should have now or how many points we should have in the end.

"We have to look to the next game, to win the game and to get three points again."
