BBC Sport's Phil McNulty tweeting at Old Trafford: "Glorious day at Old Trafford. Time for the words to stop and action to start. Mark Hughes showing no fear of Sir Alex Ferguson."

1258: There has been quite a battle off the pitch ahead of the match, with Ferguson accusing City of "being cocky" and his counterpart Mark Hughes claiming United are "weaker than before".

From Mark in Stockton, via text on 81111: "As a neutral, I hope Carlos Tevez does come back to haunt Man Utd! Wonder if he'll celebrate if he does score?"

1252: TEAMS Man Utd v Man City
Man Utd: Foster, O'Shea, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Park, Anderson, Fletcher, Giggs, Berbatov, Rooney. Subs: Kuszczak, Neville, Owen, Carrick, Nani, Jonathan Evans, Valencia.
Man City: Given, Richards, Lescott, Toure, Bridge, Wright-Phillips, Barry, De Jong, Ireland, Bellamy, Tevez. Subs: Taylor, Zabaleta, Garrido, Petrov, Weiss, Ball, Sylvinho.

From Gointokopdprem on 606: "If Man City win today or even get a draw they are without a doubt serious title contenders."

1250: Did you hear that United manager Sir Alex Ferguson's helicopter was spotted buzzing around City's training ground on Saturday? Could this be football's F1-style spygate?

1245: Rio Ferdinand has shaken off a groin problem to claim his place in the United line-up. It should be a fascinating battle between him and Tevez. Who is going to come out on top there?

1240: But first, there's no doubt that all eyes are going to be on Old Trafford. Will the match live up to the hype? How much will City miss Emmanuel Adebayor? Will Carlos Tevez - who starts for the visitors - come back to haunt his old club? Will the champions brush aside the challenge from their neighbours?

1235: And that's not all. There are four matches in the Premier League today, involving four of the top five teams in the table. After the almighty derby in Manchester, it's Wolves v Fulham, followed by Everton v Blackburn and rounding things off there is another derby match as league leaders Chelsea take on Tottenham.

1230: It's the old guard in the red corner against the new pretenders in the blue corner, the establishment facing up to the new wave.... it's Manchester United v Manchester City. And it promises to be an absolute cracker.
