Pep Guardiola (BBC Sport)

Pep Guardiola on having to leave players out of Man City team: “Terrible. It’s an absolute disaster. I advise you don't be a manager in your life. I don't have any nice words to feel relief about the guys who won't play."

"But my advice is to stick with the team, there are five or six substations and everybody has a chance. Everyone will be a part. I feel incredibly sorry for them but it is what it is. The selection I will do is to win the game.”

Betting odds
