Guardiola has acknowledged in the past that those complaints fall on deaf ears and his prayers have again gone unanswered this Christmas. City are once again set to be embroiled in a title battle with Arsenal and the Gunners have the favourable fixture list either side of Christmas.

Arsenal are in action the same day but have been handed the later 5.30pm slot for a trip to Brighton.
