What’s planned

Notes checked today (Radio Times / NBC Sports derby preview frame, 13 Sep 2026):

  • Manchester United: yet to really get going in the young season under Michael Carrick’s early stretch. This is the toughest league test so far.
  • Manchester City: enter the weekend top of the table with three from three in the league, without looking totally fluent in every outing.

Line-ups and fitness calls shift late. Use official club channels closer to kick-off.
