Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has trolled Manchester United legends Gary Neville and Roy Keane before the derby at the Etihad Stadium.
City start the clash as favourites having not lost in the Premier League so far this campaign, while United are looking to extend their run of four consecutive league victories.
Since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013, the Reds have struggled for any success and have pinballed between managers in the process. Ahead of the derby, Guardiola could not resist having a cheeky dig at the two Sky Sports pundits.

"They [the Manchester City players] know it [the importance of the derby]," Guardiola explained on Sky Sports. "We’ll play against our big rivals like in the era from Gary Neville and Roy, they control and dominate the Premier League.
"I’m sorry to them but the last decade, it belongs to us. It’s special for both teams, both clubs, try to perform well, hopefully the emotion is there and a win."
Neville and Keane had already been left frustrated at the Etihad Stadium as the sprinklers soaked the pair as well as fellow guest Micah Richards and host Kelly Cates. When asked about the sprinklers, Guardiola jokingly responded: "It was our strategy, it was our game plan."
