Pep Guardiola press conference: John Stones and Ruben Dias fitness updates for Chelsea clash Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has issued a comprehensive fitness update on his side ahead of Sunday’s Premier League clash against Chelsea. City must win every game between now and the end of the Premier League campaign to realistically stand a chance to cut down Arsenal’s nine-point lead at the top of the table. The Blues are in a rich vein of form off the back of consecutive Carabao Cup final and FA Cup quarter-final wins over Arsenal and Liverpool respectively – either side of the recent international break.
