Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola expects Manchester United to repeat their gameplan when the sides meet in the Carabao Cup semi-final on Tuesday.

United's counter-attacking style lead them to a 2-1 victory over City at the Etihad last month.

And Guardiola says Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a dangerous side when they are allowed to run.

He said: "It will be quite similar. Of course at Old Trafford it will be quite different to here, but they are a team that are built to run.

"When they can run they are one of the best teams, and not just in England, I would say, because of the pace they have - [Daniel] James, [Mason] Greenwood, [Anthony] Martial, [Marcus] Rashford and [Jesse] Lingard.

"I have the feeling they are going to run, one or two or three times, or as many times as possible, and we have to reduce the mistakes in the build-up. We have to be prepared for that but we have to do our game."

On stopping United's threat, Guardiola added: "I am not going to prepare our game just thinking, 'don't let them run'.

"We have to go there and try to score a goal, play our game and try to get a good result from there.
