Manchester Derby Visits Houston On Thursday: Where To Watch

HOUSTON, TX — Two legendary European football squads will square off in Houston's finest American football venue Thursday night in the Manchester Derby. Manchester United and Manchester City, which have been rivals for more than 100 years, will play their 174th all-time game against each other in downtown Houston.

The teams filled with all-stars like Wayne Rooney, Paul Pogba, Sergio Aguero and David Silva will kick off at 9 p.m. local Texas time (CDT). The game will air on ESPN for those who can't stay out that late on a weeknight.

For those who can stay out late but don't want to wade through the traffic but rather enjoy it among friends, here is a list of places around town that will show the football, err, soccer game.

Visithoustontexas.com has compiled a list of local pubs and late-night restaurants that typically serve as soccer-friendly venues and fans of the Dynamo and Dash.
