AFP - Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says Manchester United will be "difficult" opponents despite a huge gulf in form between the two sides ahead of Sunday's derby. City are on a run of 21 successive wins in all competitions -- a record for an English top-flight team. They are top of the Premier League table, 14 points clear of second-placed United, who have won just one out of their past five league matches and are struggling to score goals. "I know how difficult United are," he said on Friday. Guardiola has been impressed by the hunger of his players, who are red-hot favourites to win a third Premier League title in four seasons.
