Pep Guardiola says he will try to make his half-time team talks shorter after Manchester City were fined £2million for late kick-offs by the Premier League.

City were slapped with the sanction for 22 separate violations over the last two seasons.

That included them being nearly three minutes late restarting the second half of their last game of the campaign against West Ham when they were crowned champions at the Etihad Stadium.

Guardiola was asked about the fine ahead of facing Chelsea in a friendly in Colombus, Ohio.
