Pep warns City side to expect the unexpected in Club World semi

City are in the competition for the first time and are overwhelming favourites to win a fifth trophy in 2023, but Guardiola is guarding against complacency and uncertainty in Jeddah.

His side are likely to be without Jeremy Doku and Erling Haaland for the semi-final and although Kevin De Bruyne trained at the King

Abdullah Sports City complex on Monday, the Belgian is still unlikely to play a part on Tuesday or on Friday, when City will feature in the final or the third/fourth place playoff.

They will expect to be in the final of a competition European sides have dominated in recent years, with City aiming to become the 11th successive European side to be crowned world champions. But Guardiola insists there is no complacency within his ranks as to how routine it has become for the Champions League winners in this competition.
