Kyle Walker insists Manchester City will not let Sunday's derby against Manchester United affect their Champions League preparations. City host Shakhtar Donetsk in Europe tonight before taking on their biggest domestic rivals at the Etihad Stadium at the weekend. Defender Walker said: "Every game is important. We go game by game. We are fully focused on Wednesday. We will think about Sunday after this game."

Manager Pep Guardiola, speaking with Walker at City's pre-match press conference, also did not want to be drawn into looking ahead to the derby. "Shakhtar is the most important game, it is the first one," he said. Every game is a final. After it we will have three or four days to prepare for United."
