“I know he [Haaland] will be up for it. It will be a challenge, but it will be good to see some familiar faces and try to do our best to get the win.”
Guehi was joined in the Lions Den by his City and England teammate Nico O’Reilly.

The game will be a battle for the England defenders, but O’Reilly insisted that if the Three Lions carry the character with them that they showed in the game against Mexico, then “no one can stop us.”
O’Reilly added: “Every single player within the team and the staff showed character.
“We were outnumbered, and things were going against us, but we dug in until the very, very end.
“If we continue to have this character, no one can stop us.”
