Guardiola: Liverpool not looking too far ahead of EPL title

Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, says he’s not looking too far ahead in the title race

Newcastle manager Steve Bruce could be without wing-back DeAndre Yedlin as he battles a hip problem, while midfielder Matt Ritchie will not play again until the end of January after undergoing a second ankle operation. Sean Longstaff is available again after his three-match suspension.

Manchester City are still without record goalscorer Sergio Aguero, who suffered a thigh injury in last week’s defeat of Chelsea. Midfielder Bernardo Silva is back in Premier League action after serving a one-match domestic suspension. Left-back Oleksandr Zinchenko remains on the sidelines after minor knee surgery while centre-back Aymeric Laporte and winger Leroy Sane (both knee) are long-term casualties.
