Round 2! Pep Guardiola is set for a touchline reunion with Anthony Taylor at Villa Park on Wednesday - after sarcastically calling the fourth official 'the master of commander who knows everything'

Pep Guardiola and Anthony Taylor are set to meet on the touchline again this week, with the referee being named as the fourth official for Manchester City's upcoming Premier League clash against Aston Villa on Wednesday.

It comes after the Spanish manager hit out at officials after Man City's 3-3 draw against Tottenham on Sunday, with Guardiola unhappy with referee Simon Hooper's controversial decision to blow the whistle for a foul on Erling Haaland just as Jack Grealish ran clean through on goal in the dying embers of the game.
