Pep Guardiola has labelled Manchester City's January fixture schedule 'terrible' despite potentially playing just as many games as fellow top-four challengers Newcastle United.
City reclaimed second spot from Newcastle on Wednesday after comfortably beating Leeds United at Elland Road. Guardiola's side are now two points ahead of the Magpies as both clubs look to try and rein in Arsenal at the top of the table.
The Citizens will play a minimum of six games in January, including clashes with Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham and Wolves in the league. They must also face Chelsea in the FA Cup and Southampton in the League Cup quarter-final.
