Pep Guardiola has given his broadest hint yet of exactly how he will fit Ilkay Gundogan into his new-look Manchester City side.

Guardiola said “He is a great player – sometimes he will play inside but I prefer him to play outside.”

That would indicate that once Gundogan is fit and ready, he will slot in alongside Silva and De Bruyne will shift to the right side, in competition with Raheem Sterling and Jesus Navas.

Of course, that will change, and Gundogan is more than capable of taking on Fernandinho's more defensive role as well, when Guardiola rotates his players.

But Guardiola will face his first big selection dilemma once Gundogan does return , just as Manuel Pellegrini did last season when De Bruyne joined the Blues late in the transfer window – after City had won their first five games.

Joe Hart gets a standing ovation and sprays kisses as he heads down the tunnel. This certainly feels like a farewell.

Joe Hart: "That was a really special night for me. We all know there's a situation going on but we're handling it well."

Hart: "This is a special place for me. I love it. But situations occur in football and we're men, we get on with it."

Joe Hart when made aware of his 100% pass accuracy: "Wow! Pigs do fly!"

Hart: "We've got a top manager the club's wanted for years so we're gonna come out with a solution. It's not for me to say (what happens)."

Pep: "Joe is still our player. I know he’s a legend for this club. It was a good night for everybody and Joe is included in that."

Pep: "I’m here to take decisions. I can’t deny what I feel. I was honest with Joe, the club and myself and that’s what I try to do."

Pep Guardiola on Claudio Bravo: "It's almost done."
