'It's not just another game' - Edwards previews Man City test

Luton boss Rob Edwards says he is relishing the challenge of facing "the best manager in the world" when Pep Guardiola takes his Treble-winning Manchester City side to Kenilworth Road on Sunday.

The Hatters have performed admirably against top sides at home this season, securing an impressive point against Liverpool and only losing to a last-gasp Declan Rice goal in a thriller against Arsenal on Tuesday.

"It's not just another game - this is against the best in the world," Edwards told BBC Look East. "It is special. We will have a plan for this game but we want to enjoy it and compete.

"We will have a plan and will have to be as good as we have ever been, and they will need to be off [their game]. Our fans will need to help with the atmosphere. I’m really looking forward to it.

"These are the days, this is why we got promoted and what we wanted it for, to play the best and the best are coming to town."

Edwards was also full of praise for City manager Guardiola, who he believes is "the best there has been".

"He’s the best manager in the world," he said. "He’s on another level. A different plane. It’ll be a pleasure to be stood next to him. I have so much admiration and time for him.

"[But] I don’t want to be overawed or anything or feel like we don’t deserve to be here. We are here to compete and recognise we are up against the best and I hope we can sit here again next year.

"I’m sure I’ll look back in the future and be proud of what we’ve been through to get here."
