Less than ideal going into their biggest game of the season so far, especially given Mateo Kovacic only started training on Sunday after injury.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018My back is getting better so I might manage a few minutes,\u2019 Guardiola joked ahead of Wednesday\u2019s Carabao Cup tie at Newcastle, when he is vowing to give the big hitters a night off. Whether they win or lose on Tyneside matters not to Pep this season but it holds importance for Phillips.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It\u2019s probably the biggest week or so in my Man City career so far,\u2019 Phillips said. \u2018I am ready for it.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I am not going to have just one season at City and because I am not playing say, \u201cOh well I have been here for a year and enjoyed it but it\u2019s not for me\u201d. I wanted to try to break my way into the team \u2014 even though it\u2019s very difficult. I want to try and make a name for myself at Manchester City. That\u2019s the reason I came.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/24\/22\/75786989-12555671-Kalvin_Phillips_has_chance_to_ignite_his_Manchester_City_career_-a-13_1695592143348.jpg\" height=\"425\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Kalvin Phillips has chance to ignite his Manchester City career following Rodri&#8217;s red card<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/24\/22\/75761933-12555671-Rodri_was_sent_off_for_violent_conduct_during_Man_City_s_game_ag-a-64_1695592394142.jpg\" height=\"427\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Rodri was sent off for violent conduct during Man City&#8217;s game against Nottingham Forest<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/24\/22\/75762773-12555671-The_Spaniard_lost_his_temper_and_got_into_a_physical_altercation-a-65_1695592394173.jpg\" height=\"578\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The Spaniard lost his temper and got into a physical altercation with Morgan Gibbs-White<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>There is no time like the present. Phillips helped steady City after Rodri\u2019s red card for raising two hands to Morgan Gibbs-White\u2019s throat. Guardiola suggested he would not be in favour of appealing Rodri\u2019s suspension, and Phillips has to take his chance.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I have always seen players like Jack (Grealish) and Nathan (Ake) as my inspiration, that the second season is always better at City,\u2019 he added. \u2018Obviously it\u2019s not gone that way as of yet but I just come in, work hard and stay upbeat, which is very difficult but there are a lot of great players in this team who can help me get better every day. I try to keep my head.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/24\/22\/75787955-12555671-image-a-66_1695592394237.jpg\" height=\"411\" width=\"306\"><\/p>\n<p>\u2018The lads in the changing room can sense when you are down. They can sense when you are happy or unhappy. There have been times last season \u2014 and this season \u2014 where I have been very unhappy but it\u2019s all been an experience for me, growing as a person and a player.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Part of the reason for Kovacic\u2019s signing was his versatility and the Croat is adept at lying deeper. As it stands, Phillips is unlikely to start at Arsenal. Yet a strong performance at St James\u2019 Park, and then Wolves on Saturday, could force a way into the conversation. Defensively Phillips was strong in his 40 minutes against Forest.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018I know for some time Kalvin\u2019s struggled for something we need,\u2019 the City manager said. \u2018I\u2019m so pleased for him because he\u2019s an incredible guy. He\u2019s not fazed about his minutes.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Forest was a game we needed him for and he had to be there for the second ball, to keep the ball, to have the personality to hit long balls into the corners. When we have these experiences as the team, it\u2019s amazing.\u2019<\/p>\n<h3>MATCH FACTS\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span>Man City (3-1-5-1):<\/span>\u00a0Ederson 7; Akanji 7, Dias 7.5, Gvardiol 8; Rodri 5; Walker 7, Foden 8.5 (Grealish 87), Alvarez 7 (Ake 57, 6.5), Nunes 8, Doku 7 (Phillips 52, 6.5); Haaland 7.
