Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says Ederson could yet become their prime penalty taker.

Gabriel Jesus followed recent examples from Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling in missing from 12 yards for City on Wednesday night as they recorded a narrow 1-0 win away to Sheffield United in the Premier League.

And speaking in his post-match press conference, Guardiola said that goalkeeper Ederson is the best penalty taker in the City squad due to how composed he is.

"Ederson is the best," Guardiola explained. "Believe me, he's the best taker we have in penalties.

"Eddy has no blood in his veins, he's so calm so he could do it."

The City boss said he is going to review City's penalty takers ahead of the resumption of the Champions League, where City will meet Real Madrid.

"I have to reflect on it," Guardiola said. "I always give confidence to the players to take it but maybe I have to take the decision which guy is going to take it - not for Gabriel today because Sergio and Raheem have missed too but we are not safe.

"In the (Champions League) knock-out stages, it's so important because these kind of details make the difference most of the time.

"We have to reflect on it. I have to make the decision on the guy who will take the penalty."
