Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola will speak to the media this afternoon ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash with Newcastle United.

Guardiola's men head into the top-of-the-table clash on the back of a comfortable 3-0 win over Bristol City in the FA Cup. The victory saw them progress to the quarter finals of the competition where they will face Championship leaders Burnley.

The Clarets are managed by former City captain Vincent Kompany and no doubt the Blues boss will be asked about the prospect of reuniting with his ex-player.

Also on the agenda will be the fitness of defenders John Stones and Aymeric Laporte who have been missing in recent weeks with injury and illness, respectively.
