MANCHESTER CITY’S

preparations for tomorrow’s title clash with Chelsea have been disrupted by the absence of Pep Guardiola after the club’s Covid outbreak last week. Guardiola was one of 21 members of the first-team group forced into self-isolation. The Catalan tested positive before Friday’s FA Cup win at Swindon and has remained away from City’s training base, but he is expected to be back in the dugout tomorrow providing he is showing no symptoms.
