• Pep Guardiola: “We hope to see Oscar Bobb back in three or four months. It was in the training session, and unfortunately had a big impact on his injury. I think he will have surgery in the afternoon.”

• Pep Guardiola: “João Cancelo to re-join our squad? It can happen, yes. He's training with us. We will see. Maybe he stays, maybe he goes on loan, maybe... I don't know yet. He’s training with us, behaving really well in the training sessions.”

• Rodri will miss the Chelsea vs Man City game, Pep Guardiola has confirmed. “He had zero training sessions with us, he’s not ready.”

• Pep Guardiola denies reports on Claudio Echeverri is joining Man City earlier than planned after the Bobb injury. “No idea about that. I didn't talk with Txiki about Claudio Echeverri.”

• Pep Guardiola on Enzo Maresca: “My advice: give him time. If they, the owners of Chelsea, accept my advice - give Enzo time - it will work. All the managers need time. I don't know if Chelsea is the place to do this, but give him time and he will work.”

• Manchester City reach agreement with West Ham for £1.2m compensation to sign 19 year old Divin Mubama — here we go! Medical tests booked and Divin will sign a long term deal, strategic deal from Man City. Exclusive story, confirmed.

Didn’t Pep say same about Potter? Potter and Maresca employ completely different styles too.

Seems like Pep tends to protect the class that’s all.

Match Day ⚽

[Pizy 18,368]

Think our best chance today is to hope for another chaotic, high scoring affair like the 4-4 last season. Gotta hope their defense looks shaky because I can’t see ours conceding fewer than 2 today.

Just want to see us play an impressive, solid match where we look at least near their level.

No Rodri, no party

Hopefully he can find a way for that midfield 3 to play in sweet sweet harmony.

I'd rather have him on the bench than Mudryk, much more likely to make impact. But Madueke and Neto will be the ones to feature anyway.

Disasi also nowhere to be seen, I've no complaints about that.

[Pizy 18,368]

Guess we have our answer on which one of Sterling or Mudryk we’d be trying to move. 

As frustrating as Sterling is he at least has had a couple of stretches during the seasons with us where he’s awesome. They’re too few and far between but they happen. Mudryk has been hopeless.

I’d have sold him before Sterling but I guess Sterling’s wages mean it had to be him. How we’re going to convince someone to buy him is a different story.

[Wise Old Man 38]

I’d definitely take a draw 

[mkh 273]

No Sterling,Chukwuemeka,Chilwell and Disasi in today's squad..🔥✅️

With the other players like Petrovic,Chalobah,Kepa,Lukaku,Casadei,Angelo,Datro Fofana,Broja and Washington you already know they can and will all leave.

Raheem Sterling's representative indicated to Mail Sport that his omission from Sunday's Blues party that faces Manchester City was unexpected.

I'm worried about that midfield defensively. 

Enzo make big calls, which I can't say I'm disappointed about. Certain players just don't have a role anymore.
