Manchester City Players Stay Overnight at Training Ground

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has announced that his players will stay overnight at the club's training facilities on Christmas Day in preparation for their Boxing Day match against Everton, aiming to address a poor run of form that has seen them win just once in their last 12 matches. The players are allowed to spend Christmas morning with their families before returning for evening training and an overnight stay. Guardiola emphasized the need for the players to embrace this routine as part of their job, especially after a disappointing 2-1 loss to Aston Villa. Currently, City sits seventh in the Premier League, 12 points behind leaders Liverpool, and will be looking to regain their competitive edge against a resilient Everton side that has shown strong performances recently. Guardiola also highlighted the necessity of improving service to striker Erling Haaland, who has struggled to score in recent games. The clash against Everton marks a crucial opportunity for City to reverse their alarming decline in form.
