Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has ordered his team to cancel their Christmas party.

Guardiola wants to ensure they are in optimal physical condition for the hectic festive period, claims Goal.

The Catalan was disappointed with City's performance after the same celebration last year and does not want to repeat the same mistake.

City are 14 points behind league leaders Liverpool and will be hoping they can shorten that lead with games coming thick and fast over the next month.
