Manchester CIty manager Pep Guardiola, whose side moved back up to second and closed the gap on leaders Arsenal last night to five points, claimed Erling Haaland is still not back to his best.

Guardiola said Haaland, who joined City from Borussia Dortmund for £52.1m in June, has not fully recovered from a foot injury sustained in his side's goalless Champions League draw against his former club in October.

“I have the feeling he is not at his best,” Guardiola added. “It is a matter of time. Always an incredible threat for the opponent.

“Of course we are delighted, but that little (bit of extra) pace he had at the beginning of the season, he struggles a little bit.

Guardiola has also joked that "sexy" Kalvin Phillips has the "perfect body" after revealing last week the England midfielder was overweight.

Phillips was named on the bench for City's 3-1 win at his former club Leeds on Wednesday night after he was left out of their Carabao Cup squad in last week's win against Liverpool.

Guardiola said after the fourth round win: "He is not injured. He arrived overweight (from the World Cup). He didn't arrive in the condition for the training sessions and to play."
