Both sides are looking to claim a second trophy of the season with City crowned as Premier League champions last month and Erik Ten Hag’s United winning the Carabao Cup in February.
The teams have each won one Manchester derby this season.
City hammered our city rivals at the Etihad Stadium back in October with hat-tricks for Erling Haaland and Phil Foden earning a 6-3 win before United won 2-1 at Old Trafford in January.
GUARDIOLA GIVES SQUAD FITNESS UPDATE
Guardiola has come up against Manchester United regularly throughout his 15 year managerial career, including in two Champions League finals in 2009 and 2011.
The boss believes their style of play has remained similar throughout that time, despite the changes in managers and players.
He said: “Since I played against United when Sir Alex Ferguson was the manager, their biggest threat every time with Mourinho and the next managers was there always was counter-attack and transitions. It’s in their DNA.
“Now I think Erik added some patterns and movements but the threat in behind is always there. Same time they have quality to play in the spaces. Always has been like that.
“We need to control it. Home or away. The way we played in Manchester we reviewed yesterday. We played a good game considering the opponent.”
