Pep Guardiola: "For the first time, we are going to play 90 minutes with a block [vs Manchester United]." 😂⛔️ @SkySportsPL

Gary Neville believes no Manchester United players would get into #ManCity's starting XI.

Neville: "I can go through them. Dias, Laporte, Cancelo, Walker – they're better than all of United's back four. Fernandinho and Rodri are better than United's holding midfield players..."

🍦 @IlkayGuendogan could make his 150th #PL appearance for #ManCity this weekend.

🎯 @ManCity are currently averaging 84% pass accuracy in the opposing half this season – the highest in the Premier League.

Pep Guardiola: “In football after six seasons at #ManCity, it’s a lot of time. I’m not going to stay just to stay, I have to see if we can still do it together and everyone’s involved. That’s the most important. I have to feel it. That’s the reason I extended two times..."

Pep Guardiola: “For me, it'd be easy to sign three or four more years with a lot of money in the pocket and see what happens, but that’s not the point. The point is still we are together and follow, and we will have to see it until the end of the season and next.” [via @ManCity]

Pep Guardiola: "This season we start with Aymeric and Ruben, especially Aymer was incredible. We need a left foot to help make build-up and little details to make a good pass, the central defender left to the full back good pass creates a chance to score in our point of view..."

Pep Guardiola on John Stones: “He’s ready to accept he can do better. When he doesn't play he’s not ‘oh I don’t play’, he helps a lot and says, ‘I’m here’. When that happens you will have a long and successful career. Everything comes from here, and he’s ready.” [via @ManCity]

Kevin De Bruyne on the #ManchesterDerby: “I'd compare this to any other game in the top six. A big game, big games can make a difference in a season, so we try to win. I treat them as a big game, but nothing different. I think they have been doing alright..."

Kevin De Bruyne: “I started the season with a lot of pain in my ankle, every day; something I had to go through and wait a little. But from November I've been playing a lot and playing good. We've won a lot, so I'm totally fine with what I'm doing. I am happy.” [via @ManCity]

Kevin De Bruyne: “We are one of the top teams in England now. That is the only thing we can do, just try to win as much as possible and then the team will continue to grow. Our team is very good and I want to win titles. I think the performances speak for themselves..."

Pep Guardiola on Jack Grealish: “I think he’s not frustrated but if he is frustrated, he is a stupid man. It’s not necessary to be frustrated after scoring a goal. You have to play good, do your best, that’s all. If you score a goal, good, if not, next game..."

Pep Guardiola: “When you have a clear structure, when the manager leaves, there comes another, a few different ideas. When the idea is the same you don’t have to change players. After me, the club has a different manager, but it'll be quite similar. They can adapt the players..."

Pep Guardiola: “A lot of teams are powerful in the #PL; not just #ManCity have money. I want to play this way, you try to buy players to adapt to the way. Before I arrived, this was the idea... We compete with giants, cannot always win - but we're always there.”
