Man City boss Guardiola fumes over Liverpool fixture advantage

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is furious with the Premier League for changing their fixture with Cardiff City.

Guardiola's men had been due to face Cardiff City at the Etihad on the weekend of April 6.

But after their FA Cup quarter-final comeback win over Swansea on Saturday booked a final four clash with Brighton that weekend, league chiefs have been forced to reschedule the league encounter.

The Premier League have subsequently announced that the Bluebirds clash will take place on April 3 - less than 72 hours before the clash at Wembley.

The Mirror says Guardiola is far from impressed to move the fixture to that week, having already lamented his side's "crazy" April schedule. He feels it will hand Liverpool a title advantage.
