Manchester United vs Manchester City: as it happened
Manchester City led 1-0 at the break after Erling Haaland gave them the lead from the penalty spot. Scott McTominay had a wonderful chance to equalise for the home side, however, his effort was saved brilliantly by Ederson in the City goal.
It didn't take City long to double their lead. Haaland headed home from close range early in the second half. Marcus Rashford had a great chance to get United into the game midway through the second half but was unable to convert after finding space in behind.
Phil Foden put the game to bed late on, tapping in Haaland's cross from close range to seal the victory over their rivals.
Today's win sees City move to within two points of league leaders Tottenham. City have 24 points, while Spurs sit on 26. United stay in eighth place in the Premier League table after the defeat.

It is a derby after all!
Grealish is getting battered on the left! This time Bruno Fernandes jumps and fouls the English winger. The former Villa man wins another free for his side.

Ten Hag's thoughts
Erik ten Hag gives his pre-match thoughts.
Today is certainly a huge test for Manchester United and they don't have their strongest XI available.
The City players arriving earlier. It looks like they've ditched their European pre-match outfits.
Warm-ups underway
André Onana was the hero at Old Trafford in midweek, saving a penalty against FC Copenhagen to give United their first European win of the season.
Pep's pre-match thoughts
"They [United] are always dangerous. It doesn’t matter the managers – and I have seen a few – they are always a tough opponent with the quality of the individual, the character, the momentum. They have the ability not to be on top and then just score goals. We know their quality, no doubts about that.
"When I was at Barcelona and Bayern, when I travel to Old Trafford, always special. It’s a special place and here it is special for our fans."
Where are Manchester United in the table?
Ten Hag's side are currently eighth, with 15 points from their opening nine games. It has been well below par for United this season.
They've won their last three games in all competitions, but quite unconvincingly.
Where are Man City in the Premier League?
After Tottenham and Arsenal’s Premier League victories this weekend, City are currently third in the Premier League table, five points off Spurs in first place.
Man City XI
Pep Guardiola has selected the following side for the trip to Old Trafford.
Ederson, Walker (C), Stones, Dias, Gvardiol, Rodrigo, Bernardo, Foden, Grealish, Alvarez, Haaland.
Grealish starts on the left of the attack, otherwise, it is as expected.
Manchester United XI
Here is the Manchester United starting eleven for today's derby.
Evans and Maguire are handed starts, while Reguilón and Varane are on the bench.
Casemiro misses out through injury.
Former Manchester United goalkeeper Alex Stepney leaves a Manchester United scarf on Sir Bobby Charlton's seat at Old Trafford.
The role Charlton played at the club was enormous. He survived the Munich air disaster in 1958 and went on to lift the European Cup a decade later in 1968.
Celebrating Sir Bobby
It has been an emotional week at Old Trafford with the passing of club legend Sir Bobby Charlton.
Manchester City win in midweek
Reigning European champions Manchester City won their third consecutive match in the Champions League in midweek, beating BSC Young Boys 3-1 in Switzerland, with a brace from striker Erling Haaland.
Haaland has a remarkable 37 goals in 33 Champions League games at the age of 23.
The boys are back in town
Two former Manchester United players are at Old Trafford today.
Patrice Evra has often spoken about his relationship with Park Ji-sung. The pair were really tight when team-mates at the club. Carlos Tevez was also part of their crew in Manchester during the Sir Alex Ferguson days, but ended up leaving to join City!
Manchester United team news
Erik ten Hag admitted in his press conference on Friday that Brazilian midfielder Casemiro may miss this weekend’s derby. The former Real Madrid man picked up an ankle injury on international duty with Brazil.
Defenders Luka Shaw, Lisandro Martínez, Tyrell Malacia and Aaron Wan-Bissaka all remain sidelined through injury, while winger Jadon Sancho has been left out of the squad due to his personal issues with Ten Hag.
Akanji out
City will be without Manuel Akanji against United. The 28-year-old is serving a suspension after being sent off against Brighton last time out. Midfielder Kevin De Bruyne is the other important absentee and is not expected to return to action until the new year.
Ahead of kick-off today, we have analysed the City squad and have a feeling that Pep Guardiola could go with the following XI:
Ederson; Walker, Stones, Dias, Gvardiol; Rodri, Silva; Foden, Álvarez, Doku; Haaland.
We'll have the City team news for you very shortly.
Here is how we think Erik ten Hag will set his team up today:
Onana; Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Reguilón; Casemiro, Amrabat; Antony, Fernandes, Rashford; Hojlund.
Manchester United arrive
The Manchester United players have arrived at Old Trafford ahead of today's clash with City.
We'll have all the team news from both camps for you as soon as it's in.
