The second Manchester derby of the season will be played on Sunday 3 March.

Manchester United will travel to the Eithad for a 15:30 GMT kick-off, which is a slightly early time than usual for this slot, and it will be shown live on Sky Sports.

It will be our first league game in March and every Red will be hoping that we are in a stronger league position by then, with something to play for towards the end of the season. Meanwhile, Man City will likely be in the middle of a title race…

United will be looking for revenge against City after losing the reverse fixture 3-0 at Old Trafford in October.

The dates for the rest of our matches in March have yet to be confirmed by the broadcasters. They are still subject to change for TV coverage.
