City travel to Old Trafford on Sunday 19 November, with kick-off between the two city rivals scheduled for 16:30 (UK).
It’s shaping up to be another enthralling instalment of the historic fixture with both sides harbouring ambitions to win the title by the term’s end.
The clash also represents the first time the 74,031-seater stadium will play host to a women’s derby following Marc Skinner’s side’s promotion to the top flight in 2019.
As a result, the boss is eagerly anticipating the meeting and has expressed his desire for more matches to be played at men’s arenas.
“Absolutely [I’m] looking forward to it, I think it’s great” he declared.
“It would be nice if it became more normal, that type of occasion, but I’m sure it will be the way things are going.
“It’s hard to say until post match [if players being phased by big stadiums still exist]. I think at the moment it will probably be the [case].
“I can’t speak for United players in terms of how often they play there. I know they played there a few times last season.
“Some teams tend to use the main stadiums a lot.
“The more familiar it is and the more you do it, the more comfortable you feel in those surroundings. It’s really hard to tell you how the players will feel in that space.
“It’s great to have a good occasions in a main stadium in front of good crowd. It’s also being shown on television. I think it makes for a good spectacle.”
