This comes ahead of Manchester City's FA Cup semi-final against Arsenal.
Haven lost the Premier League title to Liverpool, Manchester City will be hoping to book their ticket to the final of the FA Cup ahead of Arsenal.
Recall that the Gunners lost 3-0 to Pep Guardiola side back in June 17th when the league restarted.
David Luiz came under massive criticisms after he gifted Raheem Sterling the opening goal and later saw sent off for a challenge on Riyad Mahrez in the box which Kevin De Bruyne scored.
"I have incredible respect for his career. He's an exceptional player with incredible mentality and especially personality," Guardiola told a pre-match news conference, where he had particularly sharp words for Luiz's critics.
"I laugh a lot about all the pundits, they were defenders and believe they didn't make one mistake in their careers when they played for 20, 10 or 15 years.
"I like that he is still playing football and I'm pretty sure he's going to make more good actions and mistakes as that's part of the game, but with a lot of dignity. I have a lot of respect for this player. A lot."
