Summary: Aston Villa - Leeds 1:2 (Sport1)
The 20th round in the Premier League kicked off yesterday (Friday) with Aston Villa's 1:2 over Leeds, but reaches its peak today with the derby where Manchester United hosts Manchester City.
After that, Brighton will host the ever-scoring Liverpool, who just can't keep a clean sheet.
Will he also celebrate Manchester City?

Arling Holland's first meeting with Manchester United in the derby was unforgettable.
The Norwegian scored a hat trick, Phil Foden also starred with three goals and the champion ran over her city rival 3:6 on the way to a third consecutive victory in the derby meetings.
City comes to the Theater of Dreams this time after being kicked out of the League Cup by Southampton, a game in which they did not kick the ball at all - something that has not happened to them in about five years.
On the other hand, Manchester United won all six games they played since returning from the World Cup break, during which they conceded only one goal and can narrow the gap from the champion in second place to only one point.
Anthony Martial passed a fitness test at United and started alongside Rashford.
Vout and Horst did not register in time and will make the debut in the next game.
Like Ten Ha, in the last two games in the Cup and the League Cup, Pep Guardiola also rested his two stars, Kevin de Brauna and Erling Holland, who returned to the all-blue lineup, which will try to win and beyond the city prestige, get closer to the leading Arsenal.

Brighton - Liverpool (17:00, Sport2)
The Seagulls have had a tough time since manager Roberto De Zerbi replaced Graham Potter in September, but they have bounced back from the break with 17 goals in their last five games in all competitions.
In the last two games, Brighton scored four away against Everton in the league and five against Middlesbrough in the cup, something that should really bother Liverpool who failed to keep a clean sheet in the four games they played since the break and in the league this season they did not concede only four times in 17 games.
In the last round, Liverpool lost 3:1 to Brentford and once again moved away from the fourth place that leads to the Champions League next season, but this time, Cody Gakpo is expected to start the lineup and make his debut in the Premier League, while Darwin Nunes, who was absent from training on Thursday, is doubtful to compete.
Liverpool did win in their last visit to Brighton, 0:2 last March, but in the last five meetings between the teams this is their only victory over the seagulls who also squeezed this season 3:3 at Anfield.
Brighton have a win and two draws in their last three visits to Anfield, but they haven't beaten the Meath on their home ground since the cup meeting between them in 1984.
In the Premier League, the total balance is seven wins for Liverpool, one win for Brighton and three draws.

Aston Villa - Leeds 1:2
After the humiliating elimination from the FA Cup against Steenbaij, Unai Emery's team managed to recover and is now closer, at least temporarily, to fifth place (eight points) than the red line (ten points).
Leeds, however, continue to struggle with a sixth game in a row without a win in all competitions.
Leon Bailey scored in the third minute, Alex Moreno made his debut earlier than expected when he replaced the injured Luca Dean (10), Emiliano Buendia doubled (64), and on the other hand, Patrick Bamford only managed to score his first goal of the season (83).
