Pep Guardiola appears to be keeping everybody guessing as to whether this will be his last week in charge of Manchester City.
Only the 55-year-old knows for sure if he will leave after the remaining two games of the Premier League season or see out the remaining year on his contract until 2027.

"The future is bright," he said.
"I know the guys, I know how they feel, the commitment to the club, very professional. I'm pretty sure we'll be there in the next years."
City hope to take the title race into the final day of the season by beating Bournemouth on Tuesday night, 24 hours after Arsenal face Burnley on Monday Night Football.
It is a decisive week; not only for the destination of the trophy, but also the future of Guardiola and the identity of the City head coach heading into next season.
Speaking after the FA Cup win, Bernardo Silva who is set to leave Man City this summer, told the BBC that Guardiola's future is up to him.
"He changed the way I see football, Silva said.
"Eighty per cent of my career was with him as my manager. All the things I hoped to achieve were with him. The relationship we have is very strong with the frustrations and the achievements.
"I care a lot about Man City. That's his decision [on whether he wants to leave]. It is not for me to comment on that. I wish him all the best. I enjoy being with him, having shared all these moments together."
Guardiola believes City's FA Cup triumph has given his side renewed energy for one final push in the title race.
City are clinging to the possibility they could still snatch the Premier League from Arsenal's grasp but know victories in their last two games against Bournemouth and Aston Villa might not be enough.
Guardiola is determined not to throw in the towel and they will head to the Vitality Stadium on Tuesday buoyant after beating Chelsea on Saturday to win their second domestic cup of the season.
"The fatigue will be the same but the energy will be different," the City manager said.
"It's not the best opponent for us after a game like Saturday but, at the same time, two games - Tuesday and Sunday.
"The cards are on the table. We know exactly what we have to do and we will try it.
"We try to extend (the title race). The only chance we have is to win the game and try to arrive in the last game against Villa with a chance."
