Pep Guardiola met the media this afternoon to preview our Carabao Cup semi-final second leg.

City face Newcastle in the deciding tie at the Etihad this Wednesday, kick-off 20:00 (UK).

The Blues are currently 2-0 up over the Magpies as we look to finish the job and book a March date at Wembley for the final.

Ahead of the last four home clash, Guardiola spoke to journalists to look ahead to the exciting encounter with Eddie Howe’s Toon.
