Pep Guardiola

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola doesn't want nerves to undermine the Premier League leaders as they face Arsenal in Sunday's League Cup final seeking the first trophy of his reign. City's hopes of an unprecedented quadruple ended on Monday in a bad-tempered FA Cup fifth-round 1-0 upset at third tier Wigan Athletic. Even with the Premier League title virtually in the bag and a place in the Champions League quarter-finals looking certain, Guardiola admitted there is some anxiety ahead of his and many of his players' first Cup final in English football. The Catalan, who won 21 trophies during his spells in charge of Barcelona and Bayern Munich, urged his side to relax and enjoy the occasion. "In the first finals you are more nervous than the next one," Guardiola explained.
