And speaking in Friday’s presser, Guardiola acknowledged the importance of the derby but stated it will always be secondary to him.

“I know how important the derby is for our fans but we don’t play to win the derby, we play to win the Premier League. Winning the Derby helps us win the Premier League.

Meanwhile, City will go into the game with Ralf Rangnick’s men without Ruben Diaz and Nathan Ake due to injury.
