PEP Guardiola has weighed his players and warned them not to overindulge at Christmas.

Bah humbug! Pep in festive weight warning

Pep Guardiola

The Manchester City manager has made clear that any member of the squad who returns from a short festive break out of condition will not be involved at Nottingham Forest next week.

Guardiola even refused his players a day off after Saturday's comfortable victory over West Ham to make sure the message hit home.

The Spaniard was not happy with the level of performance, even though the 3-0 success their fifth league victory in succession kept the pressure on leaders Arsenal and even took them top for a few hours.

Guardiola said: "The players asked me to take a day off. I said, 'No because you didn't play good enough.'
