Manchester City

Pep Guardiola is now speaking to the media and our reporter Shamoon Hafez has asked the Manchester City boss whether he spoke with England coach Thomas Tuchel about leaving Phil Foden out of his latest squad.

The City midfielder said this week that he has "struggled" this season because of off-field issues and injury.

"It's true that a long time he's been struggling with his ankle but I haven't spoken to Thomas," said Guardiola.

On Foden travelling to this summer's Club World Cup, Guardiola added that "in principle, he'll come to America" but Kyle Walker will not travel with City after completing his loan at AC Milan.

Ballon d'Or winner Rodri returned off the bench on Tuesday after a lengthy injury lay-off but Guardiola said the midfielder is "not ready to start" at Fulham.

Leicester City

Finally from Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy on his Foxes future: "If you look at the job, my job, I'm responsible for the good of the football club. It could be an opportunity to start planning early, which would have benefited the club.

"It is not about me and my future - it's about what's good for the club. Of course, it is up to them with how they want to deal with it. Then I will focus and continue to do so over the coming days. That's the job.

"They (Leicester's board) know what I think and how I see things - it is up to them to respond to that. We will all find out, hopefully sooner rather than later."

He added: "Those six weeks we have been working on a certain development and preparation for next season.

"That came with development of individuals, with [positive] results and good performance, closing cycles, and bringing some positivity to the support. That is what my focus is."

Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy on Leicester's support: "Of course, what we have to do and what we want to do is give them something to cheer about. That's the most important thing we have to do."

On whether there's any new injuries to Leicester's squad: "No. We can go to Bournemouth with a similar squad [to that which beat Ipswich 2-0]."

Leicester City

Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy on Sunday's approach changing without Jamie Vardy: "I think the way we play it won't change a lot because the 10 players around the striker position are clear how we want to play on and off the ball.

"I think filling in that position with another striker won't require a lot of difference in the type [of striker].

"It depends on who fills it in. Patson Daka is a type who also makes the deep runs. He is also quick in transitions."

Leicester City

Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy on whether he'll be leaving: "It is good to come together in that sense. If that's what they (Leicester's board) want - then we can find out. There hasn't been any other conversations."

On whether he reads articles about him leaving: "Yes, I do actually. I read them and I go back to my job because that's what I'm here for. That's what my responsibility is and what my drive is - to prepare for the game on Sunday with the players.

"Six weeks ago, I came into this room and changed the narrative on the season - shaping the future, bringing in academy players. We had to because of the relegation.

"Those six weeks have been development and results. That's something I want to continue with the players.

"We wanted to break some cycles which we also achieved, bring some positives towards the end of the season and take it into the new season. Now it's the last game on Sunday and we're focused on that."

No more Jamie Vardy, Championship bound, and earlier this week Leicester City were referred to an independent commission by the Premier League.

The Foxes have been charged for an alleged breach of profit and sustainability rules (PSR) for the year 2023-24, when they were in the Championship.

It's not a good time to be a Leicester City fan. Let's see what boss Ruud van Nistelrooy has to say...

With just one game left to play of the Premier League season, Brighton and Brentford retain hope of playing in Europe next season.

As things stand, at least nine English teams will feature in European competition, but certain results could make it 10. As it stands, the club finishing eighth have a chance of qualifying for the Conference League.

Brighton are currently, but they need Chelsea to finish seventh and then win the Conference League final on Wednesday.

Manchester City and coach Pep Guardiola will be looking forward to the end of this campaign on Sunday.

The side failed to win a major trophy for the first time in eight years and a point against Fulham in their last game of the Premier League season will avoid the unthinkable of not qualifying for the Champions League.

Guardiola is set to hold his final pre-match news conference of the season and could be asked about Phil Foden's omission from the England squad.

Rodri returned to action on Tuesday after being out with a serious knee injury, so how pleased was the Spanish boss at seeing his compatriot's return and how much have they missed him?

We'll find out later this lunchtime.

That's all from Eddie Howe.

To end on a positive note - all Newcastle fans with a matchday ticket will be entitled to two free drinks before Sunday's game.

Newcastle fans will be able to redeem a draught or bottled beer, cider or a bottled soft drink, if they get through the turnstiles between 2-3pm.

Newcastle chief executive, Darren Eales said: "We encourage everyone to arrive early, take advantage of the drinks offer and back the team until the very final whistle of the season."

A very classy touch.

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe on players who will have rehab during the summer: "The majority will go [on holiday]. All being well they're in a good physical condition and they go on their holidays pretty quickly.

"Matt Targett trained with us this week so that was a good sign. Joelinton will continue to recover throughout the summer, but the majority of the players will get that rest."

On Newcastle's pre-season start date: “The plan at the moment is 7 July. That can change, but that’s what we’re looking at."

Newcastle United

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe on Newcastle's summer transfer plans: "My mindset is always the same when you come to this time of year.

"You want to act quickly because usually the best available options will move quite quickly.

"If you're too late to react, you can miss out on potential transfers that could make the difference.

"I am sort of the mindset that you need to be ready in every moment. We pride ourselves on identifying our targets quickly and then we have to act quickly as a football club."

Newcastle United

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe on the mood in camp: "I think the mood has been really good. There was a disappointment after Arsenal. Not on the general performance, but on the result (1-0 defeat).

"I think training has been lively. The lads have been in good spirits. They're looking forward to the challenge we face on Sunday.

"Hopefully the consistency of performance that we have continues."

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe on Kieran Trippier returning to face Everton: "In a similar situation to Alex [Isak]. He hasn't trained with us yet.

"He's had an absence of two-and-a-half weeks, but has a chance. Maybe in the next couple of days to build up his load - maybe we will see him train tomorrow.

"Let's wait and see."

Newcastle United

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe on possibly missing out on Champions League places: "Football emotions swing so quickly. In that moment it will feel like a huge disappointment because we have been in there fighting for two-thirds of the season.

"If we miss out it will be a tough one to take.

"We know what we need to do and what we want to do. All our emotions are towards that."
