Couple of checks, but expect everyone to be fine. Couple have been carrying things for a while. Envisage being full strength.

Lads would have taken confidence for the performance, regardless of result. Then desire and support, which helped us, we do look strong late in games.

Lots has gone on since we came in but not cracked anything yet. Won three games, all late on, which shows the margins. Not getting carried away. Getting ready for the weekend, difficult task but we go there with belief.

Not put any thought into the atmosphere. Noise around City has been there for a while. Financial stuff not for me to speak on. Big challenge, we're looking forward to. Not fearing it, will try to be ourselves, be on the front foot. Know it will take a lot of work from everyone, we go together as a united group to do something special.

If we win tomorrow we get three points, so let's try and do that! Any off-field situation which is ongoing, everyone in the competition wants sorted. Same with Nottingham Forest and Everton ones in the past. But for me so far from being a priority. Only concerned with making sure the team is ready.

I'm sure Enzo will be wanting to answer questions on football, not really down to him to answer on off-field stuff.

We had spells in control last week, 50-50 possession, not going to be like that. But we still need to be a threat. Have done that well so far, so hopefully we'll try and do that.

Stay in the game and see whether something can happen late on? We have done that previously, subs have made an impact. But plan isn't just to sit back.

Liverpool game even until the sending off. Similar to the way City played under Pep. Excellent coach, played against his teams before. Will be a tough test but one we will embrace. Why you get in to the Premier League is to test yourself against sides like City.

Process to picking Christian at Everton more complicated than you'd see from outside. Kjell long-term signing, Christian injured. But the feeling was that Christian would be in at the start of the season and Kjell could then fight for the shirt. Christian won the shirt back. Kjell will be a top keeper, working with him to challenge Christian, Same with Alex Palmer.

Big part of the plan is to stop Haaland getting into the areas he likes to get into.

Emersonn, a bit of noise about him in France, saw a lot of him ahead of Strasbourg-Toulouse. Thought he was raw but had a lot of the tools needed. Is ahead of where I thought he'd be, but still things he needs to do better. I'm always on at him. Flemming and Akpom breathing down his neck, pushing him.

Ouattara, I knew he was going to be a top signing for us. Can't deem him a success in a month, but knew he would do well. His versatility is very useful. Talented lad, surprised a few people.

French league physical unlike other leagues, so less of a shock. Real athletes in that division, so feels close to a Premier League game. Emersonn and Abdoul transitioning quickly no surprise. With Emmy, how he would deal with experienced centre-halves. Abdoul will presumably have a good test with Doku tomorrow!

Might get away with the odd thing against some Premier League sides, but you don't get away with that against Man City.

Some of the lads might go to the Wardley fight afterwards. I'd love to give him my support but if not I'll watch on the telly.

Haven't fully decided on plans, lads know I'm thinking of moving a few things around. I love how we've done and what we're doing but I have respect for Man City's players and their qualities.

Had success against them with Wolves, won once, conceded late on on another occasion. Aggressive against them with Bournemouth. This one will be all my attention, all of my detail to try and put points on the board.

The lads know what I expect from the game; to go there and win the game. If we change to something else, it will be for no other reason other than to win. Lads understand, they've played games like this before, lads from France will have played PSG, for example.

I asked about left-side selection, will write-up later.

City will have been down after losing to PSG but they'll have bounced back before after losing big games. Three-game week makes it tougher for me to know what their team is. I think it's a game we get ourselves ready for regardless.

Similar to Strasbourg v PSG last season? Some similarities, level of player, coach, depth, but some tactical differences. Feel like we're in a good place, but nothing like a trip to the Etihad to test that.
