Ahead of tonight's visit of Aston Villa, Guardiola said of Gvardiol: “I like him there. Especially the build up with the left. He’s so fast going in behind.

“Him and Ruben (Dias) talk a lot and they are doing a really good partnership. It’s an option.

“I don’t think the club needs central defenders, we have a lot and we bought two young ones. Important to have a player that can play there and left back.”
