Pep Guardiola press conference LIVE Man City team news vs RB Leipzig in Champions League
Pep Guardiola will face the media ahead of Manchester City's Champions League last-16 second leg with RB Leipzig.
City drew 1-1 in Germany in the first leg after Josko Gvardiol cancelled out Riyad Mahrez's opener. Guardiola was happy with City's controlled performance, especially in light of Leipzig's impressive second half, and has asked City fans to make an intimidating atmosphere at the Etihad on Tuesday.
Guardiola left Kyle Walker and Kevin De Bruyne out of the side who beat Crystal Palace this week and could offer a team news update ahead of the important second leg - although there are not thought to be any injury concerns.
Also speaking to the media will be De Bruyne, who admitted at the weekend he has not been at his best, but defended his record this season despite that.

Chelsea went through. We see what happens with Liverpool. I'm not thinking about the pressure of defending the UK. Every team in the past goes 2, 3, 4 teams in the quarter finals from same country, everyone says it's the best league. This league is good, like Spain, Germany, Italy. This competition, like FA Cup, one game, two games, many things are involved. Things you can't control, I'm not a fan to make theories that the result depends who you are.
Let's see what Guardiola has to say.
That's our lot from De Bruyne. Next up, the manager.
The risk to underestimate isn't big. We've played them three times, we know what team it is. High in
