The Manchester rivals have both held the bragging rights in the derby this season but this match is even more crucial in terms of their respective seasons.

City are realistically not within a chance of winning the Women's Super League and so the FA Cup is their last shot at silverware. For United they are looking to defend a major title for the first time after winning the FA Cup last campaign.

Manchester City vs Manchester United will be played at the Joie Stadium in Manchester, with kick-off scheduled for 3pm BST / 10am ET on Sunday 13 April.

Read on to find out how to watch Manchester City vs Manchester United live streams wherever you are in the world.

Manchester City vs Manchester United FREE live streams

In the UK, the BBC will be showing Manchester City vs Manchester United online for free on BBC Two, BBC iPlayer and on the BBC Sport website and app.

Out of the country? You can still watch your usual streams using a VPN – more on that below.

Watch Manchester City vs Manchester United from anywhere

Geo-restrictions mean you will be blocked if you try to access from abroad, but fortunately, there is a solution: a VPN.

A Virtual Private Network - to give it its full name - makes your device appear as if its in a different location, so you can unlock your usual streaming services when you're out of the country. It's handy for watching the football when abroad, and the software also comes with a host of privacy benefits on top.

Our expert colleagues at TechRadar reckon NordVPN is the best provider out there.

Manchester United head into the match as slight favourites because of Manchester City's injury crisis.

Lauren Hemp and Alex Greenwood remain out with long term issues, while Bunny Shaw and Aoba Fujino are doubts because of their recent injury woes.

It will also be interesting how City react to their recent spell of results. They played Chelsea four times in a row, and despite winning the first leg of the Champions League, they were knocked out of the European competition, lost the League Cup final and lost the WSL game.

United, meanwhile, are in a good position in the top-flight and are chasing down the Blues. In FourFourTwo's opinion United will come away with a 1-0 win.
