Pep Guardiola jokes he 'always supports United' as the Manchester City manager is asked if he'll be cheering for his rivals as they take on Liverpool this weekend

Pep Guardiola gave a cheeky response when asked if he would be cheering on rivals Manchester United this weekend.

The Manchester City boss will be hoping for a favour from the club's neighbours on Sunday, when United play host to title-chasing Liverpool at Old Trafford.

The Reds currently lead the way in the Premier League, two points ahead of Arsenal, with City a point further back in third place.

Following whatever happens in the trios midweek contest the next instalment of the three-way tussle for top spot, will see Man City travel to Crystal Palace, Arsenal at Brighton and headlined by the meeting of old rivals United and Liverpool.
