The former internationals square up again at the pinnacle of the Premier League. City top the table with six wins out of six under Guardiola’s revolution at the Etihad while we’re tucked in behind in second, also unbeaten.
The pair were regular combatants in the Barcelona-Espanyol rivalry on the pitch, with Mauricio’s time at Espanyol (1994-2000 and then 2004-06) running alongside Guardiola’s at Barca (1990-2001).

Guardiola took over the coaching reins at the Nou Camp in 2008 (until 2012) and Mauricio at Espanyol’s Cornella-El Prat in 2009 (until 2012). Mauricio won his first derby in 2009.
