Pep's pre-match press conference summary/quotes: Bournemouth v City

Official City Account - @ManCity

PEP: We dropped two points but in general we made good things. I am happy with the performances so far this season.

PEP: Mendy is travelling with us. I don’t know if he will play. Kyle cannot play. Gundogan will play with the second team.

PEP: (On RB position) I think Danilo is going to play there.

PEP: Bournemouth are a team who want to play. The manager is so good in those terms. They start with two defeats but sometimes that can happen.

PEP: In CL you expect the first and second pot to be strong but I think Napoli are one of the three best teams in Europe right now.

PEP: (On Messi and Mbappe) My dream for one is to stay at Barcelona for his career, the other is a young talent who will decide (his future)

PEP: (Sanchez) is an Arsenal player, like Mbappe is Monaco and Jonny Evans is West Brom. You have to ask Alexis.

PEP: I am very happy for David Villa’s return to the Spain squad.

Pep confirms Benjamin Mendy is fit and will travel with the squad to Bournemouth, but doesn't know if he'll play.

Gundogan will play with the "second team" before making his full return to the first team, Pep says.

Pep: "Alexis Sanchez is an Arsenal player, like Mbappé is a Monaco player and Evans is a West Brom player. You'll have to ask Alexis."

Pep expects Danilo to play in his natural right-back position against Bournemouth with Kyle Walker out through suspension.

Pep Guardiola, clearly indicated that there could be movement late in the window. I get the feeling City are waiting on deals to go through - [Liam Bradford]
