City meet Everton in today's early kickoff with the game marking Dyche's 300th of his managerial career.

Guardiola said: “First of all congratulations [to Sean].

“It's a good milestone. We face each other many times at Burnley and now Everton.

“Congratulations to him. When you achieve these numbers it's because he's been so consistent."

On his personal unbeaten record against Dyche, Guardiola replied: “Don't ask, I know what happened. I have huge respect for Sean and all he has done.

“The way he plays, the belief in the players he has. Just focus on what you have to do."
