DERBY DAY Manchester Derby 2021: Live stream, TV channel, team news and kick-off time for huge EFL Cup semi-final clash TONIGHT The Red Devils overcame Everton in the quarter-finals while City thrashed Arsenal 4-1 at the Emirates. City remained ravaged by a Covid-19 outbreak and look set to be without Ederson, Gabriel Jesus, Kyle Walker, Ferran Torres and Eric Garcia. Aymeric Laporte and Nathan Ake missed the trip to Chelsea and are both likely to be out. And between the sticks, City have a huge problem with Edison and Scott Carson out due to Covid. That leaves American stopper Zack Steffen as their only fit goalkeeper. For United, they have a fresh squad to choose from with only Victor Lindelof a major doubt due to a back injury. Dean Henderson is expected to start over David De Gea, while Donny van de Beek could also feature. ivals Manchester United and Manchester City clash tonight for a place in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley. The first last-four tie saw Tottenham beat Brentford 2-0 on Tuesday, with Jose Mourinho's Spurs reaching their first domestic cup final since 2015. That means a Wembley face-off with the Special One is up for grabs when United and City meet at Old Trafford in the second semi-final this evening. With the semis a one-legged affair this season due to a shortened campaign, there has to be a winner on the night - and neither Ole Gunnar Solskjaer nor Pep Guardiola will want to pass up the chance of a shot at some early silverware. It will also be a poignant occasion for City following the death of club icon Colin Bell on Tuesday. The club plan to honour the ‘King of the Kippax’ with a special shirt tribute ahead of kick-off. Date, kick-off time and venue Man United vs Man City is scheduled for a 7:45pm GMT kick-off tonight (Wednesday, January 6, 2021). The match will be held behind closed doors at Old Trafford due to coronavirus restrictions. If the game is level at full-time, there will be 30 minutes of extra-time before a penalty shootout if needed. Edinson Cavani is suspended for United. Long-term absentee Phil Jones remains sidelined but Solskjaer says he has no other injury concerns, which means Victor Lindelof could return from a back complaint - though Eric Bailly is still likely to partner Harry Maguire at centre-back. The last League meeting at Old Trafford was a drab 0-0 draw, but given this is a one-legged cup tie, both teams should go for it - and there could be plenty of goals. United are slight favourites given City's Covid-19 absentees, but their superb win at Chelsea should serve as a warning for Solskjaer. Manchester United face noisy neighbours Manchester City in the last of the Carabao Cup fixtures this week. Both sides enter the game in strong form after a disappointing start to the campaign, and both will hope to be fighting for silverware come the end of the season. United sit joint top of the Premier League alongside rivals Liverpool, but can soon expect to be joined by Pep Guardiola and his band of technical wizards. The absence of Sergio Aguero has shaken City this term, but a ruthless display of attacking force against Chelsea at the weekend will please the boss. On the other side, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will hope his squad can keep their composure to produce consistency for the remainder of 2020/21 and mark his reign with silverware of any description. RadioTimes.com has rounded up everything you need to know about how to watch Man Utd v Man City on TV and online. Man Utd: At this stage of the competition, expect rotation to be minimal, regardless of the fixture pile-up in recent weeks. Edinson Cavani is suspended and Victor Lindelof is a doubt through injury, though neither would be expected to start in this one. Solskjaer could name an unchanged XI from the team that beat Aston Villa. Man City: Ederson will miss the clash due to COVID-19 though stand-in stopper Zack Steffen looked comfortable – albeit underworked – against Chelsea at the weekend. Gabriel Jesus, Kyle Walker, Ferran Torres and Eric Garcia are also missing due to COVID, while Aymeric Laporte is an injury doubt. A makeshift midfield still triumphed at the weekend though.
