The story in brief

Man City's start to life after Pep Guardiola analysed The visit to the Etihad Stadium will be Guardiola's first return to his home of 10 years, after leaving his position as Manchester City manager upon the conclusion of the 2025/26 season with an FA Cup and League Cup in his final campaign.

Guardiola's presence comes just days after the Premier League issued the findings of an independent commission, which confirmed City had been adjudged as guilty of the majority of their 115 charges of alleged breached of the division's financial rules.

Manchester City have since stood defiant, insisting that their body of 'irrefutable evidence' will clear their name, and have also lodged a 'comprehensive appeal' against the Premier League and commission's decision.
