Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has taken a new swipe at Manchester United rival Jose Mourinho.

City can go 21 points clear of Tottenham if they beat them at the Etihad on Saturday. And speaking about Spurs, Guardiola did not include United as a team who believe they can impose themselves no matter what.

Guardiola said: "I think Tottenham are with Chelsea as the best team in wanting to play football.

"They don't expect their opponents (to force the play), they want to make their own game. It is another amazing test for us after games every three days.

"After we have Leicester in the Carabao Cup and there is not too much time for recovery but we are ready to face them and keep that level that we show in the last period."
