A victory for City at the Etihad this evening (5.30pm) will mean Guardiola’s men are crowned champions.
But it comes at a tough time for the Premier League leaders.City lost 3-0 toLiverpoolin the Champions League quarter-final first leg in midweek and have it all to do to turn around that deficit on Tuesday.
And Guardiola has admitted he would prefer a less demanding clash today in preparation for that match.
Between Liverpool [games]? Yes! I would like to play at home against another team, not strong like United. Definitely.
"We would prefer a game not so demanding, to prepare more for the Liverpool game. After that we have Tottenham!
"City will win the league with six games to go should they beat Manchester United today.
Guardiola’s side can also break a points and goals-scored record this campaign should they continue their dominance.But the inevitable waltz to the title has shocked even Guardiola."Being honest, in pre-season we did not expect to have the season we have,” Guardiola added.
We competed, we were there, of course wecan lose, but we were not a team like today.We were not there.
"When we are able to win 18 games in a row in the league, in the Premier League that was the key point, where they said: 'These guys will win the Premier League.'"
