Every word from Pep Guardiola before Man City vs Peterborough with team news and Zinchenko updates

Manchester City could make a number of changes when they face Championship strugglers Peterborough in the FA Cup.

Pep Guardiola offered an update on the state of the City squad, with Zack Steffen and Cole Palmer the only absentees for the win at Everton.

Jack Grealish and Gabriel Jesus returned to the squad at Everton and could play to build their fitness back up, while Kyle Walker and Oleks Zinchenko may be recalled after sitting on the bench at Goodison Park.

Ukraine international Zinchenko was visibly moved by the reception given to him by City and Everton fans given the distressing invasion of his homeland, and Guardiola confirmed he would play against Peterborough.
