Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola said he would do all he can to get his bruised and battered squad in shape for Sunday’s Premier League tie against Liverpool at Anfield.
City need a win to restore their confidence and also revive their title hopes after a winless run in six games. Manchester City fans watched in awe as Guardiola’s team collapsed and surrender a three goal lead to Fayenoord in Tuesday night’s Champions League tie at the Etihad Stadium.
Facing Liverpool who are leading the EPL chart with 31 points is going to be quite a task for City who are eight points behind, but Guardiola is hoping something might come out of it.
Guardiola said: “What can you do? Rest one or two days and prepare for Anfield.
“We have to [raise the players], we have to. That is my job. We play a good game but we need to do it.
“Everybody knows the situation, I don’t have to add absolutely anything. We are going to train tomorrow, recovery and prepare the next game. Have a day off and we have two or three days to prepare and go for it.”
