The report continues by claiming that Guardiola thinks it could damage the Citizens hopes of winning a Premier League, Champions League, League Cup and FA Cup quadruple. Guardiola recently publicly criticised the “crazy” schedule that his players will face in April. He said: “So now Cardiff midweek, before the Tottenham first leg we have semi finals in Wembley so it’s crazy, the fixtures we have in April, that is why we need everybody.” The Mirror says Guardiola is worried that the new schedule ‘hands Liverpool an advantage’ in the title race and had hoped that the fixture against Cardiff would be moved to a date in May.
