UEFA Champions League: Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola is 'absolutely' confident that his team will secure UEFA Champions League qualification with just two games remaining in the season.

City are sixth in the table with two matches remaining, but if they beat Bournemouth, which is their game in hand, they would move into third spot ahead of a final-day away game at Fulham, with the top five making it to the Champions League next season.

“Absolutely,” he said when asked if he was confident of qualifying for the UCL. “Of course, it’s important. We have been the last 13, 14, 15 years in the Champions League but if we don’t, we don’t deserve it, and we will play the Europa League. I’m thinking we are going to qualify," said Guardiola in the pre-game conference.
