Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is delighted with the form of Kevin de Bruyne going into today's clash with Liverpool.

City host Liverpool in the early kickoff today.

“I would love to see Kevin at the same level he had against Leipzig and Burnley and with the national team, it's the best Kevin for a while," said Guardiola.

“Hopefully he can maintain it until the end of the season. His mood is really good. When he is hitting this level Kevin is an extraordinary player. During the seasons always you have a little bit up and down, that is normal.

“I know what they can do and all the time I try to do it but they are human beings so sometimes that is not possible.

“What he has done against Leipzig was extraordinary, with Burnley especially in a real tough game against a man-to-man team set up by Vincent Kompany."
