Man City v Brighton (Wed, 19:30 GMT)
Pep Guardiola discusses the pressure of being a manager in England and how it compares to doing the job in countries such as Germany and Spain: “It is quite similar. I don’t think there is another country where you are safe if you don’t win games.
“If you don’t get results, it doesn’t matter. The past or present. Every manager is hired for their ideas and they are sacked for their results.
“Sometimes you need a process and time. With United, they draw three games at home against Everton, Bournemouth – their opponents did an incredible job but the results will be close to Arsenal.
“The gaps are sometimes so small. In their last game United had a lot of absences and sometimes it is hard to cope. When important players are not available it is always difficult.
“But, the reason why? To be honest, I don’t know.”
