Pep Guardiola met the media this afternoon to preview the latest Manchester derby.

It’s the 198th edition on Saturday with a 12:30 (UK) kick-off and will see City travel to Old Trafford looking to do the double over our neighbours this season following a 3-0 win on home soil.

The pre-game briefing took place at the City Football Academy this afternoon with Guardiola answering questions from gathered journalists.

He discussed the latest injury news, the records of Erling Haaland and Phil Foden in past derbies, the arrival of Michael Carrick as interim manager at United and the blistering start to life in blue of Antoine Semenyo.

You can watch a recap of the press conference right here on mancity.com and our official app above.

There’ll be a second embargoed section with the manager which will go live on our digital estate from 22:30 (UK.
