Sakho uses a camera angle which makes you feel like you are him. 

He is of course recovering from a knee injury but could return for the festive fixtures.

Manuel Pellegrini has been talking about Raheem Sterling as the ex-Liverpool forward prepares to face his former club for the first time since his £49m move.

"It’s always special not only for Raheem to play against a team they spent a lot of years, for James Milner the same, that is part of the career of the player and they are now defending another shirt," Pellegrini says.

"He is a very young player and he must improve a lot and it’s important also he can demonstrate in every game. I’m happy with how he’s playing so far, he’s an important player and will be a more important player in the future.

"It depends on the way he improves, he’s just 21 years old so he has years to improve and I think he will be an important player not just for Manchester City but for England."

Let's wrap up the news conference with Eddie Jones then with a bit more on his style of play:

"We may go to Scotland on 6 February and it might be pouring with rain - we might have to win 1-0. That's got to be the pragmatism of the team.

"Everyone says New Zealand are a great attacking team and they are - but they kick the ball more than any team in the world. You play to the situation."

We won't be copying the All Blacks, we will make our own style and I want the players to believe that 100%. We want the All Blacks to be watching how England play, that would be nice wouldn't it?"
