Pep tells City to ignore 'little, little record'

MANCHESTER City boss Pep Guardiola has played down the importance of equalling a winning record when his side face Celtic in the Champions League tonight.

Since the former Barcelona boss took over, City have won all 10 of the competitive matches they have played so far this season.

Victory over Brendan Rodgers' side in their Group C encounter would draw them level with Tottenham's record-setting 11 wins on the bounce from the start of the 1960-61 season.

Guardiola, who confirmed at the Celtic Park media conference that Kevin De Bruyne, Vincent Kompany and Fabian Delph would be out injured, said: "Wins help to win more. The confidence is a real aspect to the way we play.

"But every game is hard. I am not concerned or focused on a little, little record.

"In the future an English team will win 12-13 games in a row, that is going to happen."

Delph could be back for City after next weekend's international break.
