Man City boss Guardiola: Red Star no time to experiment

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says tonight's Champions League clash with Red Star Belgrade is no time to experiment.

City have already qualified as group winners.

Guardiola said: “No, we prepare the game and analyse the opponent to try and win the game.

“We're going to rotate some players because we have three days, travel five or six hours, three days, a semi and potentially a final.

“I'm very pleased tomorrow to see many players who didn't play lately to be involved in the team. Absolutely, I'm very pleased.

“[We find motivation] in the same way. The manager and players have to perform.

“Prepare the game like the first one in Manchester the same way.

“This morning we prepared really well, we travel, we have meetings and hopefully we can have a good game.

“It's a question of trying to do the game, perform well and we prepare the game of course to win it."
