However, when asked about his thoughts on Sevilla beating Manchester United in the Europa League quarter finals last season, Guardiola told SPORTBible that the Red Devils were weak during the game.
He said: “I have a feeling, excuse my arrogance, that Man City are favourites for the Super Cup.
“We have quality, but, of course, we know there are no favourites. I saw the second leg of Sevilla vs United; United were weak, Sevilla can be strong.”
Meanwhile, Guardiola has already listed 22 players for their UEFA Super Cup clash against Sevilla in Athens.
