from an historic haul of four trophies, with an FA Cup final to come as well as a Champions League semi-final and potential final, plus six Premier League games.

He said: “We love being in this situation but we know that so far we have won only one competition (League Cup). That’s great, but there are three others to go. The boys are in a good moment but we have to prove it again.

“Derby matches are always special. It’s a bit different this week because we played Manchester United in midweek. Usually, a derby is the talk of the city for a week before. It’s always a very intense game – I cannot remember a time when it was not important.”
