WHAT GUARDIOLA SAID

City got a rare midweek break after they were ousted from the Champions League by Real Madrid. Guardiola hailed the break from continuous action and said: "Good, days off, three really good training sessions. They always train really good. More fresh in the mind, tactics, little details. That is the stage, not much to talk about tactics. Fresh legs, minds, ready for the game for tomorrow."

THE BIGGER PICTURE

As the season nears its conclusion, every match becomes pivotal, and City will be banking on their fully fit squad to deliver the results needed to secure success on multiple fronts. With the return of key players and a renewed focus on preparation, Guardiola's side will be aiming to finish the season on a high note and defend their Premier League and FA Cup titles.
