Manchester City fans in the UAE have been invited to watch Sunday's Manchester derby with fierce rivals United on a big screen at Zayed Sports City in Abu Dhabi.

A free Sky Blue fan zone is being set up — doors for which will open at 6.30pm, with the big game at the Etihad Stadium kicking off at 7pm.

At the fan zone, there will be chances to win a signed shirt by all of the Manchester City team, including stars such as Sergio Aguero, Yaya Toure and Samir Nasri.

To enter, all City supporters have to do is share their photos of them cheering on the team using @MCFC or #Together on Twitter.

Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany urged the scores of Sky Blues fans in the UAE to attend the event.

He said: “We’ll be going all out for an important win and hope that all of our fans at the Sky Blue fan zone enjoy the occasion. It’s fantastic to know that we’ve got your support with us all the way from Abu Dhabi.”

Sunday’s game has been made extra special by the fact that both are battling to finish above each other as they bid to secure a top-four finish and Champions League football for next season.
