This weekend, two big derbies will showcase the best of what these teams have to offer.

The weekend’s exciting football action begins with a highly anticipated Manchester derby on Saturday. Manchester City, who have won their last six games, are tied on points with Chelsea. Last time the derby was played at Old Trafford where City secured a 3-1 victory with two quick goals. However, this time around the game will be played at the Etihad.

The Merseyside Derby is the other big derby that takes place on Sunday. Liverpool are looking to extend their three-game winning streak against Everton, who is currently in 9th place and lost their last game. However, Everton will be looking to bounce back from this defeat and defend their 1-0 victory at Anfield in the WSL in October.
