Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says his players must relish their trophy challenge ahead of their FA Cup tie with Southampton.

The City boss urged his players to enjoy the moment, the trophies and success they have had and will have.

“We have to push each other, every game to be there," said Pep.

“Don't wait for my words or messages. You have to do it, live this competition like a joy, incredible moment.

“It's a short career - footballers don't realise. Next moment, be in Premier League but we have this moment ahead of us to make our people happy.

“Don't waste the opportunity."

And there was also encouraging news about injured defender Ruben Dias.

When asked if he would be available this weekend, the Catalan said: “They told me 5,6 weeks. After international break maybe, but he is incredibly getting better.

“Symptoms are good, but doctors told me be careful. If you fall down again, the season is over.

“The position of hamstring issue me we have to be careful."
