FT: Sheffield United 0-1 Manchester City
Manchester City
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola talking to BT Sport: "It's a difficult place to come, they are so physical and they arrive with a lot of men in the last 18-yard box. It was a solid performance, we only conceded two chances. In the first half the keeper made two incredible saves.
"We knew that Aymeric couldn't play for 90 minutes, that's why we played five at the back to protect him a little bit. He's a crucial player for us, we've missed him, it's good for us to have him back.
"Sergio is on fire right now. Strikers need momentum. It's good for us to have strikers in this form.
"I am so happy with the team. I know what it's like to play here, it is a tough tough place. We controlled it well and in the end we created chances to win."
On Gabriel Jesus' missed penalty: "It's part of the game."
