The Manchester and Merseyside derbies are back to back on a fantastic Super Sunday this weekend - but what is the nation's favourite fixture between the rivals?

This week, we have been asking you to vote for your preferred classic contest from the Premier League era in our head-to-head Derby Day Cup.

Now, we are down to our final two from both derbies.

In the Manchester derby final, Manchester United's 3-2 win in 2012 - when Robin van Persie scored a last-minute winner at Manchester City - goes up against United's 2011 home victory, which featured Wayne Rooney's unforgettable overhead-kick winner.
