The Manchester derby headlines gameweek 27 of the Premier League season as champions and history-chasers Manchester City welcome Manchester United to the Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola's side will already know by kickoff on Sunday whether they will be able to move to the top of the Premier League table by beating their local rivals, with current league leaders Liverpool in action at Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
That is one of seven matches on a busy Saturday of action, which also includes two London derbies as Brentford host Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur entertain Crystal Palace.
The weekend's action will conclude on Monday night when Arsenal will hope to keep up their own title push as they travel to Sheffield United.
Each gameweek, Sports Mole is taking on a famous musician or band in a prediction competition, and this week it is the turn of Only The Poets.
