Manchester United vs Man City: The best derbies from the Premier League era

We look back on some of the most notable and thrilling derby encounters from the Premier League era

It’s been quite a while since a Manchester derby held as much significance as tomorrow evening’s clash at Old Trafford.

Compared to last year’s April encounter – which saw United merely delay City's eventual coronation as Premier League champions – the outcome of Wednesday’s tie holds the potential to shape the outcome of this year’s title race.

Should City win, the route will be all-but clear for Pep Guardiola’s men to clinch a second successive title under the Catalan. Should they lose, however, Liverpool will stand as favourites to claim their first-ever Premier League title.

It’s safe to assume, then, that tomorrow’s clash will be no light affair. Expect fireworks.

With that in mind, we look back on some of the most notable and thrilling Manchester derby encounters from the Premier League era.
