Man City boss Guardiola: I'm only thinking about Crystal Palace today

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says his total focus today will be on Crystal Palace.

While the nation tunes in to Liverpool v Manchester United, Guardiola will be reminding his players of Palace's recent record at The Etihad ahead of their evening kick off.

"Crystal Palace, Crystal Palace," muttered Guardiola when asked about the clash between his two biggest rivals.

"Palace is the only result I want. I want to beat them, the other match I honestly don't care about.

"The last two seasons at home to Palace we have got one point, that is why it's my only concern.

"It doesn't matter how many games we have won. Palace is Zaha, Eze, Benteke, Roy Hodgson, Milivojevic. This is why I have been concerned about them since the day after we beat Brighton."
