What's on the agenda for Guardiola?
- Published
Pep Guardiola will return to the hotseat this lunchtime to preview Manchester City's Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Newcastle United.
The Spaniard missed media duties following Saturday 10-1 trouncing of Exeter City in the FA Cup third round as he served a one-game touchline ban, instead sending assistant Pep Lijnders to face the cameras.
City are still battling on all four fronts and the Carabao Cup presents the opportunity to collect the first trophy of the season, which will be important for the club after failing to win silverware last term.
Does Guardiola have revenge on his mind after being beaten at St James' Park on their last visit there? Will Antoine Semenyo get another start after scoring on his debut?
We'll find out later.
Come back to this page later on Monday for all the key lines from Guardiola.
