Hello and welcome to The Athletic.
And boy, have we got a treat for you today.
It is Manchester derby day in the Premier League and, despite the positions of the two teams in the table, this feels like the most important one in a long time.
In one dugout, champions Manchester City are in freefall with Pep Guardiola on the worst run of his managerial career. And, in the other, Ruben Amorim’s feet are not completely under the table.
It promises to be a fascinating contest from the Etihad Stadium, so stick with us for all the build up over the next few hours.
