Ahead of Manchester United's clash against Machester City on Sunday night, this is what you need to know.
Sunday’s Manchester derby pitting Manchester United hosting their counterparts Manchester City will be one of the most pivotal clashes in recent history, and for unusual reasons.
United, who used to be the premier club under Sir Alex Ferguson, will be playing for pride as they attempt to get out of their lower-table predicament - but with a bigger eye on the Europa League quarterfinals against Lyon, where there is more at stake.
Manchester City also has something to play for, which is to try and consolidate a top four finish to guarantee themselves Champions League football next season.
However, it will not be plain sailing for them, considering they will be missing Erling Haaland for most - if not all - of the remainder of the league season.

Their run of games without their star striker began well in midweek, a 2-0 win over Leicester City, but this represents a greater test for Pep Guardiola.
The Spaniard has won on five of his nine league trips to Old Trafford, already a league record. Making it six would give City plenty of momentum for the run-in.

Anthony Akumu explains why Kenya’s rivals should be very afraid of Benni McCarthy
Harambee Stars midfielder Anthony has given reasons why Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy will soon surprise many after what he has seen from the South African legend.
However, he has found it rough facing his Portuguese counterpart Ruben Amorim, who has already had the better of him this season. First, was in a 4-1 loss to Sporting Lisbon shortly before leaving the club to replace Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford.
The second was a 2-1 loss to Manchester United in the first leg, where Amad Diallo netted a last-gasp winner last December.
Where to watch:
The game will be shown live in the UK on Sky Sports Main Event, Sky Sports Premier League, Sky Ultra HD, Sky GO and NOW TV.
For live streaming, subscribers can use the Sky Go app. If you're in Kenya, you might want to check local broadcasters like SuperSport, which often airs Premier League matches.

Top 5 Best Clubs in Kenyan Premier League History
The top five clubs in Kenyan Premier League history have helped shape the country's football legacy through their historic achievements, passionate fanbases, and consistent contributions to the growth of the sport.
The towering Scandinavian comprises one part of Man City's injured quintet, which also features Rodri (ACL), Nathan Ake (foot), John Stones (thigh) and Manuel Akanji (groin), but Abdukodir Khusanov is expected to be given the all-clear after being left out in midweek.
However, Nico O'Reilly will not cede his place in defence lightly, while Grealish has done all that he can to reprise his role in the number 10 slot too.
De Bruyne may have to make do with a place on the bench for his final Manchester derby.
What the managers are saying
Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim believes his side is making progress despite losing nine of his 19 games in charge of the team in the Premier League since his arrival.
""It's more [of] the same since this season began," he said. "So I think if you look at the game, we are improving the way we play football. We are creating more chances, we are dominating more games.
"But in the end, when you don't win, you feel that and that is a good thing. So we know that this season is going to be like that, the momentum. So we continue to go to the next [game]."
For Manchester City, Pep Guardiola knows his side can ill afford to lose momentum. Newcastle United and Aston Villa are also building form, Nottingham Forest are going nowhere in the top five battle while the likes of Brighton and even Bournemouth will hope to have gained ground by Sunday afternoon.
"Eight games left," said Guardiola. "Every game is vital."
Predicted lineups
Manchester United: Andre Onana; Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs De Ligt, Leny Yoro; Diogo Dalot, Manuel Ugarte, Bruno Fernandes, Patrick Dorgu; Alejandro Garnacho, Joshua Zirkzee; Rasmus Hojlund
Manchester City: Ederson; Matheus Nunes, Ruben Dias, Abdukodir Khusanov, Josko Gvardiol; Nico Gonzalez, Ilkay Gundogan; Savinho, Jack Grealish, Jeremy Doku; Omar Marmoush
At Old Trafford in particular, United tend not to go down quietly against City, even when they do lose.
