GUARDIOLA SCHEDULE IS 'NOT FAIR' BUT NO EXCUSES

With an 8.15pm kick-off on Wednesday against Aston Villa not seeing the Blues finish until after 10pm, there are just 62 hours between full-time in that game and kick-off against Crystal Palace today in the lunchtime kick-off.

"It's not fair but we're going to do it," bemoaned Guardiola ahead of the trip to South London, reminding his players that they have battled with busy schedules before.

Having admitted that he will not pick his team until the last minute to give his players as much time as possible to recover, Guardiola was keen not to lean on excuses before the game.
