( Game kicks off at Old Trafford on Sunday, September 20, 2009 at 13.30 UK time)

After passing their first major test of the new season last week against Arsenal, Mark Hughes' Manchester City make a short trip to Old Trafford to take on local rivals United in a Manchester derby on Sunday afternoon. This is the first time City are playing United after embarking on their spending spree in the summer, and that is why you must not miss the opportunity to watch Man United vs Man City live streaming.

United beat Besiktas 1-0 in their midweek Champions League game thanks to goal from Paul Scholes. However the Salford born midfielder is suspended for the derby after seeing red in United's 3-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur last week.

Manchester City also have problems of their own. Striker Emmanuel Adebayor will serve the first of his three match ban handed by the FA for violent conduct. Brazilian Robinho is injured, while Argentine hitman Carlos Tevez is still struggling with a knee problem. Former Bayern Munich and Blackburn striker Roque Santa Cruz is also unavailable, meaning that Hughes faces a dearth of strikers upfront.
