Man City press conference LIVE as Pep Guardiola issues team news vs FC Copenhagen in Champions League

Pep Guardiola will look to build on Manchester City's derby demolition of Manchester United by taking a huge step towards qualification for the Champions League last-16.

City host Copenhagen in the Champions League, and can put one foot in the knockout stages with victory as they would move eight points ahead of their opponents with three games remaining. If Sevilla, who are level with Copenhagen on one point, fail to beat Borussia Dortmund, it would mean City need just one more point to qualify ahead of their trip to Denmark next week.

Guardiola will give an injury update on Kyle Walker, who limped out of the derby rout of United on Sunday, while Aymeric Laporte was a welcome returnee from injury of his own. Rodri missed the derby after picking up a late injury and Guardiola could offer a more detailed update on his condition, with John Stones and Kalvin Phillips also out injured.

Erling Haaland continues to be in electric form, although Guardiola may consider resting him at some stage, with this a potential opportunity to play Julian Alvarez instead.
