Pep Guardiola preview
On Everton’s playing style: “The last two games against Liverpool and Leeds were so demanding - the high pressing and intensity from both teams. We handled it well. I don’t know what Everton is going to do.
“If they defend deep we have to know how to handle that, the transition from Pickford is so fast. The quality is there - we have a feeling Everton have exceptional, really good players.
“In this period of the calendar it can be a problem. Just three days after the game against Leeds, which was so demanding. We have to be ready again.”
On Dominic Calvert-Lewin: “Unfortunately for him and Everton he was injured in the last period, he can’t bring consistency to play, play, play and that is a problem for a player, but he is absolutely a dangerous player.”
