Pep Guardiola says the tough festive schedule means he needs to be careful with his team selection for our Premier League clash with Chelsea. A traditionally busy period, City have had two tough away trips to Nottingham Forest and Sunderland to navigate. And the difficult games keep coming with Chelsea the visitors to the Etihad Stadium on Sunday for a 17:30 (UK) kick-off – the second of nine games in January. There was mixed team news from the New Year’s Day draw at Sunderland with Rodri and Jeremy Doku returning from injury but Savinho forced off in the second half. The boss says he will speak with the medical staff ahead of making his selection for the clash with Chelsea.
