Pep Guardiola Plays Down Man City’s Frustrations over Fixture Pile-Up
Guardiola said City must adapt as they face three matches in seven days after the Premier League rejected alternative dates.
- On Friday, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola dismissed concerns over the team's congested end-of-season schedule, accepting fixture changes necessitated by their ongoing domestic treble push.
- The Premier League rearranged matches against Crystal Palace and Bournemouth around the FA Cup final against Chelsea, creating a demanding run of three games in seven days from May 13 to May 19.
- Guardiola stated, "When we won the treble and quadruple we always had this kind of calendar," noting he anticipates no assistance from the league or broadcasters.
- Chasing league leaders Arsenal, City trails by three points with five matches left, though they hold a game in hand beginning with Monday's match at Everton.
- Defender John Stones will leave after 10 years at the club, as City pursues a seventh Premier League title in a close race that could be decided by goal difference.
