City welcome Crystal Palace to the Etihad Stadium following their 3-0 home win over Brentford on Saturday as they continue to chase down league leaders Arsenal who are once again 5 points ahead.
That gap can be cut to just two points with a win over Palace on Wednesday as Guardiola’s side aim to remain perfect in the final stretch of the season if they want to stand any chance of catching The Gunners.
Guehi has been a revelation
The City boss revealed that Rodri has returned to training and will be monitored for the clash before praising Marc Guehi who they signed from the Eagles last season.
"He is an incredible signing. He's focused in every single detail in every game, in his private life, to be a professional.
"He is an unbelievable signing for this club. We are really pleased. He is behaving how we expected in moments, how we turn around immediately. That defines the big players at the big clubs. I said many times."
Palace will be a tough test despite European final
Next, asked on how Arsenal's result affects his players and Palace facing Arsenal before their European final, Guardiola says he is focused on the present as he faces a Palace side looking forward to the Conference League final later this month.
"Crystal Palace (his focus) and thinking what I have to do, to always learn from my career as a manager, what you control, to do better, what you've not done better this season, to arrive in a better position. We are still fighting.
"They're so professional, the team. Crystal Palace will play top against us. We saw Leeds yesterday against Spurs, even being out of the relegation battle so they are in the Premier League again - how they compete.
“We played Aston Villa here in the past, nothing to play for and how difficult it was. I am sure they will do their best, knowing that they have the final (in) three days."
