Pep Guardiola press conference LIVE Man City team news updates ahead of Leicester City fixture

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola will face questions from the media this afternoon ahead of the Premier League match with Leicester City.

Guardiola's men will be returning to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday in high spirits following the victory over Bayern Munich in the Champions League this week. Rodri's first-half stunner was followed up in the second by goals from Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland as the Blues put one foot in the semi-finals.

City have enjoyed a great week so far after Arsenal dropped points in the title race after drawing at Liverpool last weekend. Guardiola knows that if his team win all their remaining matches they will retain the Premier League.

Opponents Leicester have just appointed Dean Smith as their new manager after Brendan Rodgers was sacked with the Foxes in the relegation zone. Guardiola could be asked about his appointment as well as John Stones' new midfield role, the performances of Jack Grealish and Haaland's continued stunning goalscoring record.
