Manchester City have spoken to the Premier League about their Christmas fixture programme after being asked to play twice in less than 48 hours.

City have just 46 hours 15 minutes between the start of their matches at Wolves on 27 December and at home to Sheffield United on 29 December.

The Blades have 75 hours from kick-off at their 26 December home match with Watford to the start of the City game.

“I wrote a letter to the Premier League to say thank you,” said Guardiola.

It is not thought that City actually wrote a letter but it is understood they made several representations about the situation to the Premier League.

“We are going to the fridge after we have played Wolves to get ready for Sheffield United,” said Guardiola.
