The Etihad Stadium is hosting a derby that smells like powder between Manchester City, 4th and in free fall, and Manchester United, 13th, who cannot manage to get back on track. The weekend’s schedule, during the 16th day of the Premier League, promises to be tense.
At what time and on which channel to watch Manchester City – Manchester United
The Manchester derby will be broadcast on Sunday December 15, 2024 at 5:30 p.m., on Canal +, live for subscribers.
City n’y arrive plus
7 defeats, two draws and only one victory. This is the result of the Cityzens’ last ten matches, in all competitions. The absence of the Ballon d’Or, Rodri, seems to have completely disrupted the plans of Pep Guardiola and his men, who have been playing in reverse since the end of October. Already 4th, 8 points behind the leader (Liverpool), Manchester City must pull itself together or risk having to say goodbye to the Premier League title even before the end of the calendar year. The defeat in Turin against Juve on Wednesday in the Champions League (2-0) is just another setback for the Sky Blues, who are looking for a solution which is slow to arrive. In the Premier League, they still took 4 points in two matches. During the last championship meeting, City still had all the difficulty in the world to come back with a point from Crystal Palace, being trailed twice (2-2).

The Red Devils are no longer scary
Neighbor Manchester City is not doing much better, but it is now a habit for Manchester United supporters. The Red Devils remain on two defeats in the Premier League, against Arsenal (2-0) and Nottingham Forest (2-3), which dropped them to 13th place. In the Europa League, their victory at Viktoria Pilsen on Thursday (1-2) allows them to be 7th, 4 points behind the leader, Lazio. In the league, they are currently 8 points behind Manchester City, which requires them to win so as not to be further behind their rival.
