How can I follow the game? The match at Old Trafford kicks off at 12:30 BST on Saturday and will be broadcast live in the UK on Sky Sports. MUTV's live matchday programme begins at 11:30 BST and subscribers can watch the game in full at 18:00 BST on Sunday. You can also keep up with all the action as it happens via ManUtd.com's live match blog and by following our official Twitter account @ManUtd.

Set the scene for me... Returning from the international break, the Premier League gets back under way with a bang with a fixture that needs no introduction, the Manchester derby. It’s been the ideal start to the season for Jose Mourinho and the squad, having won all three league outings thus far, but Pep Guardiola's City side head to Old Trafford having also put together a perfect league record to this point - beating Sunderland, Stoke City and West Ham. Something has to give, however, and a win for United would see the Reds move three points clear of our neighbours.

Who'll play on Saturday? As is often the case with players returning from international duty, there are various question marks about a number of stars for this weekend’s game. Henrikh Mkhitaryan is a doubt after coming off in the first half of Armenia's defeat in the Czech Republic on 31 August, and he has since tweeted, "Not sure yet if I'll be fit for the derby, but I'm motivated as ever to put all energy to be in great shape asap!" Marouane Fellaini missed the first of Belgium's two matches after hurting his back in the Hull game but he played 84 minutes of their second fixture, in Cyprus on Tuesday night. Luke Shaw, meanwhile, withdrew from the England squad in Slovakia due to an ache in his calf but boss Sam Allardyce said the left-back's return to Manchester was just a precautionary measure. One player who is certainly ruled out is City striker Sergio Aguero - he will serve the first of a three-match ban on Saturday, having been retrospectively charged with violent conduct following the win against West Ham. More team news may emerge when Guardiola and Mourinho hold their pre-match press conferences on Friday.

What happened in the last derby? The most recent duel with City was back in March at the Etihad Stadium. A solo Marcus Rashford goal was enough to earn a win for the Reds and, in netting the winner, the teenager became the youngest player to score in the derby in the Premier League era. Last time the derby was at Old Trafford, the match finished in stalemate, with neither side finding a goal. City have not been victorious in the fixture since 2014 and, in the Premier League era, United have won 20 of the 38 league meetings between the two sides (20 wins, 7 draws, 11 losses).

Who are their key men? City’s squad is full of quality and, so far this season, it’s been their attacking threat which has taken the headlines as they are currently the Premier League’s top-scoring team. Joining this summer from Celta Vigo, Nolito has hit the ground running at City, with the Spanish left-winger having already scored three goals and provided two assists in all competitions. On the opposite wing, Raheem Sterling has also made a strong start to the season, scoring twice and setting up four. You would think City’s productivity from wide positions may be wasted with Aguero missing, but the club’s only other recognised striker, Kelechi Iheanacho, is definitely not to be underestimated. The 19-year-old from Nigeria broke into the squad last season and went on net 14 times in total.

Anything else I should know? Saturday is going to see two of the most revered managers in the current game reignite a rivalry that originates from when they were both working in La Liga. United manager Mourinho, formerly of Real Madrid, and City manager Pep Guardiola, the ex-Barcelona coach, used to lock horns in the infamous El Classico. Now both in England, they will again face one another in fierce derby fixture, this time playing for the accolade of the best team in Manchester.

Lol

God bless you Sir. Insightful write up.

cloudgoddess:


Lol. Christians claim to be of such moral high ground yet they can't fathom why someone would care collectively for humanity?

The f*cked up things in the bible have caused an unfathomable amount of suffering for humans across the ages. It's the source of so many horrid ideas that have really wrecked people's lives (like the killing of women & children for being witches, murder of homosexuals for loving who they can't help but love, the robbery of people's freedom through slavery, etc).

But no, other people's pain doesn't affect us directly so let's just ignore it. Pure genius. A truly Christian approach

you'll soon see light..

Pidggin:
If you are not a Christian I don't see how this issue affects you.

I love this comment.
Bro, if you ain't a child of God then the things of God shouldn't concern you. The things of the spirit cannot be comprehended by carnal men for they are meant to be spiritually discerned. I pray you find peace bro, Good morning

Renouncing Islam? good for you tho. But you ain't there yet. Check my signature for the place I'm talking about.

One of the trademarks of two-time NBA MVP Stephen Curry is his mouthguard. The Golden State Warriors superstar is often seen chewing on the protective gear with it half hanging out of his mouth. It also became famous during the NBA Finals when he threw it across the court and hit a Cleveland Cavaliers fan.

Recently, one of Curry's signature mouthpieces sold at a quirky auction. Curry used the item during a Warriors road game. The mouthguard, which has Curry's name on the guard and the case, fetched $3,190, according to ESPN

Let alone Nigeria

SaharaReporters has obtained a letter which reveals how Abba Kyari, the Chief of Staff (COS) to President Muhammadu Buhari, is using his office in the presidency to further his personal businesses and contradict his boss’s so-called anti-corruption initiative.

The letter shows Mr. Kyari prospecting on behalf of Valiant Offshore Contractors Limited, a private business that is being fronted by the major owner of SeaWolf Oilfield Services Limited the single biggest debtor of the Asset Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON).

Seawolf Limited owes First Bank of Nigeria about N160billion, as a result of which two oil rigs owned by the company have since been seized by AMCON and parked at the Lagos Marina.

Nonetheless, COS Kyari went ahead to show his hand in refining the company as a Special Purpose vehicle to immediately commence business with the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) where he is a board member.

Sources knowledgeable about the deal revealed that as a result, the COS has been piling enormous pressure on AMCON to give Seawolf a clean bill of health so that it can resume business as a drilling services company with the NNPC without meeting its debt obligation to AMCON.

Seawolf is owned by Nigerian businessmen Uwamu Adolor, Okulola Remi (who is close to former President Olusegun Obasanjo), Rasheed Mahey Rafindadi, Wessels Alwyn, Odunlami Remi, Waziri Ibrahim Dahiru and Oduntan Adetunji.

But while Adolor took loans from banks and frittered them on automobiles using Seawolf, he also secretly formed a company known as Valiant Offshore Contractors Limited, a company that’s now being pushed by Mr. Kyari to get huge oil services contract from the NNPC.

In the letter obtained by SaharaReporters, it is revealed that the COS, in trying to pressure AMCON to sign off on Valiant’s worthiness to do business with the NNPC despite its terrible state of indebtedness, blames First Bank of Nigeria for giving out the loan to Seawolf.

AMCON has reportedly replied Mr. Kyari, saying Valiant could not be given a pass without paying off the debt it acquired through Seawolf.

Our source described the letter as a prime example of how Mr. Kyari has continuously abused his office to engage in corrupt activities and influence peddling right under the nose of the President.

In the past year, the COS has strategically expanded his role at the Presidential Villa, where President Buhari is known to delegate authority to his subordinates. A presidency source told SaharaReporters that the COS considers himself the alternate President of Nigeria, in most cases jumping into and standing next to President Buhari in official photographs even at high profile events, in contravention of the general protocol.

Recently Mr. Kyari ordered government ministers to report to him rather than the President, contrary to the constitution. The President, our source said, signs all memos brought to him by Mr. Kyari, without reading them.

Observers describe Mr. Kyari as one of the most evident contradictions in President Buhari’s anti-graft profile. Two months ago, SaharaReporters revealed that he was playing a prominent role in blocking an investigation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) into a huge fraud by Sahara Energy.

Sources at the anti-graft agency later told SaharaReporters that officials of the government had placed a freeze order on information about the raids it had carried out on the company’s offices in Abuja and Lagos.

Our enquiries unveiled Mr. Kyari as an ally of Sahara Energy and the government official behind the efforts to muzzle that investigation.

Right after we published that story, it emerged that Mr. Kyari, in collaboration with the Director-General of the Department of State Security (DSS) and the influence-peddling newspaper publisher Nduka Obaigbena, were working to hound out of office the EFCC chairman Ibrahim Magu, with the objective of having him replaced with an official who would do their bidding at the agency. The agency had tied Obaigbena to Dasukigate, and compelled him to refund hundreds of millions of naira.

Our sources said Mr. Kyari accused Magu of leaking the Sahara Energy story to this website.

Sure bro, there is a God who rules over the affairs of men. He's Jehovah. Sorry about what happened to your parents and your cgpa. This God who I'm talking about has greater plans for your life. He knew you right before your existence. Never doubt His existence rather doubt your doubt. He's not a sense-God but rather a Faith-God. You can only please Him in Faith. Got a Bible over there? Search the scriptures to get more faith. Grace and Peace bro! Love you

Bro, God has given you all you need for life.. maybe you ain't seeing it yet.. Spend more time on the scriptures and see the inexhaustible riches of our father for us His children.. Never doubt even though you feel like. Doubt your doubt.. God bless you..

juntod:

What Konga doesn't know is that someday one of the sacked workers would buy off the company...

Seun:

Numbers 15:32-36: "While the Israelites were in the wilderness, a man was found gathering wood on the Sabbath day. Those who found him gathering wood brought him to Moses and Aaron and the whole assembly, and they kept him in custody, because it was not clear what should be done to him. 35 Then the Lord said to Moses, “The man must die. The whole assembly must stone him outside the camp.” 36 So the assembly took him outside the camp and stoned him to death, as the Lord commanded Moses." That's not love.


Matt 16:28: "Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom." False!
John 16:23: "Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name." This is also clearly not true.

How come you're so interested in the things of God? If you're an Atheist, then to you God doesn't exist.. why quoting scriptures? wow! you still battling with that inner conflicts right? Don't worry bro, God's got something for you.. You will see it soon and not only that,when you see it, you will recognize it. Grace and Peace bro

you've got a lot to learn bro. Search the scriptures, study and understand it for yourself and don't be swayed away by different doctrines of men. Check Romans 3.. Especially verse 20. Grace and Peace

So many people have been blinded by different doctrines so that they can no longer see the truth. Imagine them saying if a girl wears trousers, she's a hell candidate.. smh
