Pep Guardiola pens 'sarcastic' letter to PFA officials about hectic festive schedule

Prior to the games against Wolves and Sheffield United, Pep Guardiola told Reuters that he had sent a letter to the Premier League to "thank" them for a demanding schedule over the festive period. They had two matches in less than 48 hours. Manchester City, who trail Liverpool by 13 points at this stage in the season, played Nuno Espirito Santo's Wolverhampton Wanderers last Friday and hosted Sheffield United on Sunday in the Premier League.

Pep Guardiola said, "I wrote to the Premier League to say thank you and we're going to the fridge after Wolves to get ready for Sheffield United. Tomorrow (Sunday) is a day off, we're training on the 23rd and 24th. The night of the 24th is off, the morning of the 25th off. Then 26th training and then 27th is Nuno's team."
