The upcoming Sunday at 2:00 PM UK local time, the third round match of the Premier League will be held, where Sheffield and Manchester City will face off at Bramall Lane. The match will be broadcasted only on Paramount+, Star+, and Telemundo.

Pep Guardiola, will be notably absent. The Catalan is currently recuperating from an emergency back surgery and won't be back on the touchline until after September's international break. During his absence, his role will be assumed by assistant coach Juanma Lillo.

Lillo holds a unique connection with Guardiola as he was the last manager Pep played under during their time together at Dorados Sinaloa in Mexico. Lillo left his manager position at Al Sadd to return to City's coaching staff in July.

"We are quite similar in how we see football and how we understand the game," Guardiola mentioned regarding his second in command "He is a friend."
