Pep Guardiola has played down the personal significance of Manchester City's pursuit of silverware in today's League Cup final. The City boss is potentially 90 minutes away from landing his first major trophy in English football as his side take on Arsenal in the Wembley showpiece.

He claimed a combined 21 trophies across his spells in charge of Barcelona and Bayern Munich and the brilliance of his City side this season suggests more will follow. But the Catalan said: "I'd like it not for me — for the club. We are here to try to win titles. The first step was to arrive in the final. We did it and now will we try to win it."

He has confirmed that Claudio Bravo will again play in goal, as he has in all domestic cup games this season, but forward Raheem Sterling is a doubt with a muscular injury.
