Premier League matchday 11 preview: Manchester United host Manchester City

-

SuperSport viewers on DStv and GOtv can look forward to Round 11 action from the Premier League, with matches scheduled to run from Friday 5 to Sunday 7 November 2021.

The top clash from the Premier League this weekend is the Manchester derby between United and City from Old Trafford in the early afternoon of Saturday 6 November. Always a heated showdown, this battle will have even more tension than usual as the Red Devils look to claim the scalp of the current champions to renew flagging hopes that they can challenge for the title.

Yet the Citizens have looked one of the most capable teams in the Premier League this season and manager Pep Guardiola will expect them to assert themselves at the ‘Theatre of Dreams’. “[The Manchester derby] is always a difficult, complicated game,” said the Man City boss. “United have such great quality, players who can change the game so quickly, but we also have our own strengths. It will be a fantastic game.”

Aside from the Mancunian battle, the weekend also features Chelsea and Liverpool hoping to take advantage of any points dropped by their rivals. The Blues will play host to Burnley on Saturday afternoon, while the Reds will face a tricky trip to West Ham United on Sunday evening, with Hammers boss David Moyes hoping to complete a Merseyside double after recently leading his team to victory over Everton.

“This is as good as I’ve had. This is right up there,” Moyes said of his West Ham team. “By the time I reached year 10 at Everton, I had real quality players, international players, and a balance with a team who understood me. But in year two at Everton, I didn’t have the same quality of player as I have now at West Ham. I think the football we are playing at the moment is right up there. Yes, there have been one or two blips, but we’ve played some really good football, we look exciting.”

Other games to watch out for include a Friday-night round opener between Southampton and Aston Villa, Arsenal hosting Watford, Everton tackling Tottenham Hotspur at Goodison Park, and Leeds United looking to claim the scalp of Leicester City.
