Kick-off this afternoon at the Leigh Sports Village is scheduled for 13:00 (UK), with City looking to hand United their first loss of the season.
We faced the Red Devils on two occasions last season.
The first saw City beat United 3-1, courtesy of Farid Alfa-Ruprecht, Jaden Heskey and Will Dickson.

But can City overcome third-place United this time around?
