Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola showed great respect to title rivals Liverpool after his side brushed aside Manchester United on Sunday afternoon.
Doubles from Kevin De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez gave City a convincing 4-1 win against their local rivals in a one-sided affair.
The result restored the champions' six point lead at the top of the Premier League, but Guardiola insisted that Liverpool are as good as any side he has ever faced in management.
