Guardiola says players are ready to push on despite Rodri’s plea for a rest
‘We have done it before and know what we have to do’Manager says he will not pick players if they are tired
Pep Guardiola says this season has been “one of the toughest” but that Manchester City’s experiences of winning trophies will negate tiredness within the squad, after Rodri admitted to needing a rest.
City host relegation-threatened Luton on Saturday, giving them the chance to move top, for 23 hours at least, for the first time since early October, as they attempt to repeat last season’s treble. Guardiola’s side sit third, a point behind Arsenal and Liverpool, who each play on Sunday.
