Manchester City is fighting for the Premier League title. The English team is close to the top, currently held by Arsenal. Pep Guardiola is aware that they cannot slow down or let important points slip away. The Spanish manager doesn't want his players to get carried away this Christmas break. Pep Guardiola and his team are coming off a 3-0 victory against West Ham United in their last Premier League match. The Spanish manager revealed that the players asked for a few days off, but Guardiola disagreed because he felt they didn't play well enough against West Ham. The English league will have a short break. Manchester City's next match is on Saturday, November 27th. The Christmas holidays fall in between, and Guardiola publicly warned his players. "Everything was perfect in the last check-up, but when they return on the 25th, we'll weigh them again. I want to see how they are after three days," said Guardiola. The Spanish manager doesn't want to give away any advantages in the Premier League. Pep Guardiola expects discipline from his players. Any player who doesn't arrive in good condition will not be included in the squad for the club's next match. "If a player returns three kilos overweight, he will stay in Manchester. He will not travel to Nottingham Forest," he stated. Manchester City's next match will be a challenging visit to Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. Forest currently sits in 17th place in the Premier League. It's a crucial match for both survival and the top spot in the English league.
