Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte has issued a warning to Manchester United that they are seeking revenge in the derby on Sunday.
Pep Guardiola's side had the opportunity to win the league against their bitter rivals in April but they threw away a two-goal lead to give Jose Mourinho's side a 3-2 victory.
Laporte was on the bench at the Etihad that day, but he insists his side are ready to strike back.
'There's always a feeling of revenge any time you lose against any team,' the defender told Sky Sports.
'We are always ready to compete and need to take advantage of the good momentum of the team at the moment.
'It's a very important match for two reasons ... because it's the Manchester derby and also because if we win we will put distance between ourselves and them in the table.'
The former Athletic Bilbao centre back has started every league game for Guardiola's side this season.
He is part of a City defence that boasts the best defensive record in the division - having conceded just four goals.
The league leaders will go 12 points clear of Mourinho's side if they win at the Etihad on Sunday.

He’s not being chosen because he doesn’t engage with teammates very much, not much as a social guy

Laporte was on the bench for the second derby last season but has started every EPL match this season. We’ve still only conceded 5 goals in 11 matches so he has a reason to be confident.
City will make it, history will not work ,but what is on ground will show what City is made of.

Man U's win on Juventus was by luck, review the shots on that march by Juventus.How mwny times did they hit the posts? We cannot be confident if we review that march seruously.

The City will win this time. Larporte is right. Confidence makes everything easy.At times we can depend with past but it can mislead us also.Lets take every situation differently.

I don't feel angry if man city lose a game why because they use to hit the post many times. so I just come to know that they are unlucky today.

Perhaps if all here were to watch that April game again and see how many chances were wasted by the City team in d first half owin to Sterling's wastefulness in front of goal....coulda very easily bn 5 nil at half time....plus Young shulda bn sent off and a penalty awarded City in the second half...let's not confuse good fortune for competence/capability....
lol you are a good joker boy ....just like juve fans think by half time they would have been 10 nil up..we won't argue but listen

No chance for a revenge on MU,City boys.MU can frustrate the city boys again judging by the fantastic form after the match against Juventus.
