Manchester United Under-21s will face Manchester City in the Premier League 2 on Monday night. The Premier League 2, which is the division for U21 players, has undergone changes this season, combining the upper and lower leagues into one 26-team league. Despite winning three successive PL2 titles, City has struggled this season and currently sits at the bottom of the league with the worst goal difference. However, they will be looking to claim bragging rights when they visit Leigh Sports Village to face United. United, on the other hand, is in midtable and is coming off a 4-2 victory against Norwich, with youngster Sam Mather scoring all four goals. In their previous encounter in March, City defeated United 6-0. Stay tuned for live match updates from Leigh Sports Village.
