Everything Pep Guardiola said at Man City press conference ahead of Newcastle United fixture

Pep Guardiola will address the media on Friday afternoon ahead of Manchester City's third Premier League match of the season against Newcastle United.

City have had a great start to their title defence having picked up successive comfortable victories over West Ham United and Bournemouth in their opening two matches of the campaign.

Erling Haaland has already made a big impact but his lack of involvement in last week's outing did raise concerns in some corners, which Guardiola may well be asked about.

The Blues have added left-back Sergio Gomez to their squad this week. His arrival and the future of Bernardo Silva could be some more talking points.

Guardiola may also offer a team news update, with Kalvin Phillips and Cole Palmer missing the Bournemouth win with knocks.

We'll bring you every word Pep Guardiola has to say this afternoon LIVE right here.

The open section of the press conference has now closed.

You don't have to ask me I don't know. I have never bought a player, I have never sold a player. It's the club's money. All I know is that when a club spend money then people go crazy and then when they don’t, people ask why haven’t tey spent money.

I think what they have done Newcastle is because they believe it's the best. In the winter window they bought players because they were in trouble, then they got a lot of good results

Cole is back. Kalvin is back. Some niggles but everyone is okay.

[is window done?] Apparently yeah. If someone move or if there's a problem we don't expect.

What happened in the past is the past. If you’ve had bad results in the past it means nothing. Newcastle is a project not just for one or two seasons. We’ve seen in this window everyone spends a lot. I think they are here to stay
