Pep Guardiola feels Manchester City can look forward to this weekend's derby in good spirits after securing their place in the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Sergio Aguero scored the only goal as the holders saw off a spirited but limited Sheffield Wednesday side 1-0 at Hillsborough on Wednesday night.

Coming after last week's stunning Champions League win at Real Madrid and success in the Carabao Cup final, City are now ready to face Manchester United in the Premier League at Old Trafford on Sunday.

Monk said: "The players did exactly what I asked and delivered it at a very good level.

"Overall we're disappointed to lose the game to a goal that should have been offside. I would rather have lost it to a goal that was more legitimate," he added.

"What is strange is having VAR in some grounds and not others but I am not complaining. Credit to them, they are a fantastic team.

"I'm disappointed with the result but very pleased with the level of commitment."
