'Man City beat United more than we lose' - Guardiola takes aim at rivals ahead of Carabao Cup derby date

Pep Guardiola has aimed a subtle dig at Manchester United ahead of their derby date in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday, insisting that Manchester City have a superior record to their rivals in recent years.

City are due to arrive at Old Trafford for their first leg of the semi-final tie against the Red Devils as they bid to defend the trophy they won last term.

The reigning Premier League champions beat Chelsea in the final back in February, but United will be buoyed for the encounter after earning a win at Etihad Stadium last month.
