Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola believes Phil Foden is "the best player we have in small spaces by far" while explaining how big a boost the Englishman's return to form is for his team.

Jack Grealish has received partying advice from former England international Glen Johnson, with the Everton loanee being told to "do it more undercover" after attracting some unwelcome attention for letting his hair down "at the wrong times".
