Delph to miss three matches after straight red in Man City defeat

Fabian Delph has earned himself an unwelcome break over the busy New Year period after being sent off in Manchester City's defeat by Leicester.

Pep Guardiola's side were beaten 2-1 at the King Power on Boxing Day, a result that sees them slip down to third — seven points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool.

Delph was shown a straight red card by referee Mike Dean with just a minute of normal time left to play on Wednesday.
