A different Pep in the hot seat
- Published
Assistant Pep Lijnders will be on duty to preview Manchester City's Premier League trip to Tottenham on Sunday.
Manager Pep Guardiola is unavailable for what has been described as a personal reason.
It is the third time this season Guardiola has missed pre or post-match duties - Kolo Toure sat in to preview the game at Crystal Palace on 12 December, while Lijnders himself faced the cameras after the trouncing of Exeter City in the FA Cup third round on 10 January.
With the transfer window closing on Monday, Lijnders is likely to field questions about any incomings or outgoings for City before then.
And how many of the injured players - if any - have recovered for the Spurs game?
Meanwhile, Guardiola was in Barcelona on Thursday, giving a speech in support of Palestinian children at a charity concert.
Come back to this page later on Friday for all the key lines from Lijnders.
