The Manchester Derby is Sunday with Manchester United and Manchester City playing at the Etihad Stadium and the English Premier League rivalry match will start up at 8:30 am ET for the Barclays schedule on the NBC Sports Network and the game will be streaming live from the NBCSN Live Extra website and Wayne Rooney is expected to be ready to go for the Red Devils in the game.
Manchester United comes into the game at eighth on the league table for this season and they have the chance to bounce back after a draw against Chelsea. That matchup with the Blues was the highest rated for NBC Sports since they received the EPL package and now they have a matchup with Man City. United comes in after two draws in a row with Chelsea and West Brom and that came after a win at Old Trafford against Everton.
City comes into the game after losing against West Ham and that was disappointing and before that they had a draw with CSKA Moscow on the road in the Champions League. The team won over Tottenham big before that and also won away against Aston Villa and they come into the weekend at third on the EPL table. Chelsea continues to lead the EPL standings and they are in first over Southampton, while Man City is just behind the second place team.
