Pep Guardiola has called this a 'cup final' and said in his pre-match press conference: 'They defend really well. David Moyes knows exactly what to do.
'The game we played here [The Etihad] we won because of two or three actions. I think we are better than in that moment and hopefully we can use that. We know what we are playing for.'
