Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola insists he's happy with Raheem Sterling.

Ahead of their meeting with Fulham, Sterling has not started City's last two Premier League games, but Guardiola insisted the winger remains a key player for him.

“Absolutely, he hasn't done anything differently since we are together," said Guardiola.

“He's an important player, his contribution has been huge in the past and will be in the future.

“We speak with the players every day, I'm on the pitch, so I talk with him a lot and he wants to play every week."
