Man City players to give Liverpool guard of honour
It will be Liverpool's first game since their 30-year wait for a league title was ended after City lost at Chelsea.
"We are going to do the guard of honour of course," said City boss Guardiola.
"We will greet Liverpool, when they come to our house, in an incredible way. We are going to do it because they deserve it."Meanwhile, Guardiola has again refused to say whether he will be willing to extend his City contract when it expires in 2021.
By then, he will have spent five seasons in Manchester, longer than he was in charge of Barcelona, and there is speculation he will be looking for another challenge.
Robben plans comeback with Groningen
Robben retired in July 2019 after a career in which he won more than 30 club trophies.
However he hopes to be back in action for the 2020-21 season to help Groningen, who have been badly affected by the suspension of football.
"It is my dream to wear the Groningen shirt again," he said.
"I don't know yet whether this will work. What I do know is that it will not depend on my commitment and motivation.
"The club can use any help during this period to get through the corona crisis.
"These past weeks I've had many conversations with club staff and maybe more than anything I've listened to the call of our supporters: Arjen, follow your heart!"Robben, who won 96 Netherlands caps after making his debut for Groningen at 16, admitted that the comeback would be "a tough physical challenge".
Groningen were ninth in the Eredivsie when the 2019-20 season was abandoned and then voided in April because of the global coronavirus pandemic.
The first fixtures of next season are expected to be played in mid-September - more than six months after Groningen lost 1-0 away to PSV Eindhoven in their most recent match.
McCarthy withdraws from Travelers Championship after testing positive for coronavirus
England's Matt Wallace and American Bud Cauley, who played the first round with him, tested negative but Cauley also withdrew and Wallace missed the cut.
McCarthy, 27, is the third player to test positive since the PGA Tour restarted on 11 June.
"I was feeling pretty tired and sore after the round yesterday but didn't think much of it because I had practised a lot Monday to Wednesday," said world number 180 McCarthy, who shot a first-round three-under-par 67.
"Last night, I woke up in the middle of the night with additional aches and soreness and sensed something was off."Under the PGA Tour's response plan, 16 tests will be administered for those who had close contact with McCarthy.
McCarthy will self-isolate for 10 days, according to Tour protocols.
Cauley, who tested negative twice on Friday, said he withdrew "out of an abundance of caution for my peers and everyone involved with the tournament".
Nick Watney withdrew from the RBC Heritage after testing positive last week, while Cameron Champ did so at a pre-tournament screening before the Travelers.
New York City and Berlin marathons cancelled
This year's New York City Marathon, due to take place on 1 November, would have marked the 50th running of the event.
It is the world's largest marathon, with 53,640 finishers in 2019.
The Berlin Marathon was due to take place on 27 September, but has been cancelled because the "fun, joy, health and success" of participants cannot be guaranteed.
Michael Capiraso, president and CEO of New York Road Runners - the New York Marathon's organisers - said:
"Cancelling this year's New York City Marathon is incredibly disappointing for everyone involved, but it was clearly the course we needed to follow from a health and safety perspective."Meanwhile, London Marathon organisers said earlier in June that they had "not given up hope" of holding the event on 4 October.
