Kevin De Bruyne says Manchester City’s players are desperate to give their supporters a “historic” day and clinch the Premier League title against Manchester United.

City face the mouthwatering prospect of being crowned champions if they beat bitter rivals United in Saturday’s Manchester derby at the Etihad Stadium.

It is a delicious opportunity City fans would be able to dine out on for a lifetime, and would also provide a standout moment for a brilliant campaign by Pep Guardiola’s side.

“I think for the fans, it would be wonderful,” said Belgium midfielder De Bruyne. “Obviously if we don’t make it, we don’t make it, we will have a lot of chances left still. But to make it against United would be special, it would be so nice to go on and win against United.

“For the fans it would something special, something different – you know how it goes between them, you know the history, so it would be historic.”

However, Guardiola would not let the match occupy his thoughts with the a two-legged Champions League quarter-final against Liverpool either side of the United clash.

“I understand completely the people are happy and the enthusiasm to win the league at home against them,” said the City manager. “At the end the important thing is to win but I understand to play at home Saturday 5.30 in front of our fans, it is an important game to win the Premier League.

“Before that we have Liverpool and after we have three days we have second leg so few recovery days and you have to use all the squad. I am sorry, like a manager now, Liverpool will occupy all my head.”

City strolled to 3-1 victory against Everton thanks to goals from Leroy Sane, Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling.
