Mark Clattenburg will referee the Manchester derby on Sunday in a season that has seen him send off three players from United and City, reports Sky Sports. Clattenburg has shown red cards to United's Luke Shaw and Tyler Blackett, plus City captain Vincent Kompany.
Shaw was sent off late in the 1-1 draw with West Ham while Beckett was dismissed in the 5-3 defeat to Leicester.
They are the only red cards Clattenburg has shown in this Premier League season.
Clattenburg officiated Belgium's 1-0 win over Israel and sent off Kompany after two yellow-card offences.
