Manchester City will make the FA Cup final uncomfortable for rivals Manchester United, Pep Guardiola says, as the manager told his players to be wary of their opponent's counter-attacking threats.

City were ruthless in their 6-3 home win over United in the Premier League this season, but were beaten 2-1 at Old Trafford, setting up an enticing FA Cup final between the sides.

Guardiola said he had watched back that league defeat in preparation for the final, and felt his side played well, but knows they must be wary of United's threat on the transitions.

Urging City to stand firm when under pressure, before making life difficult for United, Guardiola previewed the kind of game he expected in a historic final.
