Quotes
Guardiola: “John Stones told me how good they are, the quality of the players - he was one month, two months with Ronald - not a long time. He played with five in the first game against Tottenham, sometimes 4-4-2, sometimes 4-5-1. I don’t know what Ronald will do on Saturday.”
Koeman:”It’s impressive the way City play football - maybe not so much just before the international break - but I watched them beat Monchengladbach and it was interesting to see how they played compared with last season. It can be hard to defend against but Celtic and Spurs have proved you can get a result against them. We need to be at our very best to go there and win.”
