Man City boss Guardiola: Spurs game won't be played at Etihad

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has ruled out switching their clash at Tottenham to the Etihad.

Spurs are struggling to complete their new stadium in time for the October 28 fixture and have yet to line up an alternative venue.

Guardiola said: “The only thing I can say (is) the last five games, four are away and that's a problem if we are playing for the Premier League.

“I'm a manager for what happens on the pitch. If they want to suggest something they'll speak with our CEO (Ferran Soriano).

“We want to help the Premier League. This (delay) can happen because it will be an amazing stadium. Sometimes there are delays. We can adapt, but we will also think of ourselves."
