PEP PRE SAFC

Pep Guardiola has confirmed that 2024 Ballon D'Or winner Rodri will not be fit to face Sunderland tomorrow. The Man City boss has also praised us and said we deserve to be where we are in the table.

WILL HE FEATURE?

“No. He’s getting better but I don’t know how long [until he’s back] but he will be ready.”

HIGH FLYERS

“All I can say from my opinion is that they deserve to be where they are. When you are promoted and you play well for five games, okay, momentum. It can happen. But for 14 fixtures in the Premier League with the opponents like everyone suffers to take results in that position they deserve."

GOOD CHALLENGE

“They do it well otherwise they won’t be where they are. Good challenge for us.”

LEAKY DEFENCE

"How many shots on target had Leeds? Three and they scored two. Fulham. Five? Six? So the average of what they shoot and we concede is high. We have to improve, of course we have to improve. We have to fix these kind of things but not lose what we are... we have to be more solid."
