Pep Guardiola believes that Manchester City have earned respect as a top club because of their ability to regularly compete for trophies.
His side can take a huge step towards a third Premier League title in four years with victory over second-placed Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
City are already in the Carabao Cup final, the quarter-finals of the FA Cup and have a 2-0 first-leg lead over Borussia Monchengladbach in their last-16 Champions League clash.
