Guardiola’s defending champions lead the Premier League by two points from Liverpool
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has been asked by the Football Association to explain comments he made about the referee before Sunday’s derby with Manchester United.

Guardiola had said: “He is going to try to do the best job like we try to as managers and football players.
