Dominik Szoboszlai has reacted to Pep Guardiola completely butchering the pronunciation of his surname ahead of Liverpool's clash with Manchester City.

Guardiola spoke fondly of the Hungary international in his pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon.

Szoboszlai, who joined Liverpool from RB Leipzig in the summer transfer window, has helped spearhead a midfield overhaul following the departure of veterans Jordan Henderson and Fabinho.

City manager Guardiola spoke to length about his impact since moving to Anfield. He also had words for Ryan Gravenberch, who arrived from Bayern Munich on deadline day.

Guardiola said: “Time goes forward, eight or nine years, not the same players – they have Trent Alexander-Arnold inside or outside - but the idea is similar.

“We have a lot of space in behind, and they have incredible runs with [Luis] Diaz, with Darwin Nunez, with [Mohamed] Salah, of course, and now with [Dominik] Szoboszlai and [Ryan] Gravenberch.”

The way he pronounced Szoboszlai is what got social media talking. It's a tricky name to say as it is, but Guardiola put a new spin on it.

Szoboszlai's heard the video himself and had to have his say on social media. Luckily, the 23-year-old appears to have taken it all in his stride.

He simply commented four laughing emojis under a Hungarian account reporting Guardiola's slip-up.

City and Liverpool always deliver and Saturday afternoon's showdown promises to be no different.

The fixture has huge Premier League title ramifications despite us only being a third of the way through the campaign.

If City come out on top at the Etihad Stadium, it'll be their 24th consecutive home win.

Guardiola admitted: "Honestly, I could not expect to be in this position at the start of the season.

"We have five teams so tight, but we are there. It's an important game, but there's more to come."
