It’s our pleasure on citytv to present a super playlist of no fewer than 20 dramatic derbies - a set of highlights sure to be one of your highlights in the countdown to kick off.
There’s the game at Old Trafford in 1970 when City won 4-1 and Francis Lee scored a hat-trick, so long ago that they played in black and white.
There’s the game at Maine Road where Steve McKenzie grabbed the only goal in 1981, and the one two years earlier when Tony Henry and Michael Robinson were the Blues heroes.
Not forgetting the famous 5-1 victory from 1989 that went down in derby folklore and features the best header that England left-back Andy Hinchcliffe ever conjured in a City shirt.
We’ve also squeezed in the Old Trafford derby from last October, in case anyone wants to watch it.
So dip into our derby delights to your heart’s content, whether it’s recent triumphs or, for younger Blues fans, the thrill of seeing some golden oldie action for the first time.
And here’s another bonus: they rewind themselves. No expense spared. Enjoy.
