So, why exactly is the Manchester derby kicking-off at the unusual time this afternoon? Why is the Manchester derby kicking-off at 3.30pm? Manchester United vs Manchester City is kicking off today at 3.30pm following an agreement made by the two clubs and other parties. As such, the first installment of Sky’s offering – Burnley vs Bournemouth – will start at the earlier time of 1pm to accommodate the new kick-off time for the Manchester derby. Haaland and Foden both bagged hat-tricks in what was, unsurprisingly, the highest-ever scoring Manchester derby in history.
