As more comments are coming in about tonight's derby, BBC football expert Mark Lawrenson believe City manager, Pep Guardiola, hasn't fully grasped that there are no easy games in the EPL.
He said:
"Whether or not they qualify for the Champions League is what will define Guardiola and Mourinho's first season at their new clubs.
No trophy for Guardiola is no big deal, but missing out on the top four would be abject failure with what he has got and where Manchester City want to be.
I don't see that happening, but it would be interesting to hear Guardiola's assessment after a year in England if that is the situation he finds himself in.
I would not say he has misjudged the Premier League, but I don't think he ever quite got a handle on the fact there is no such game as an easy game here - home or away".
