Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has no doubts about his players being up for their Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund.

City host the first-leg of their quarterfinal tomorrow night.

"They are human beings, not machines," Guardiola said after victory over Leicester City.

"I rotate because it is not possible to play every day - to win all competitions in this year without spectators when we start later and finish earlier, you cannot be there where we are if you don't rotate.

"Ilkay [Gundogan], Joao [Cancelo], of course, they could play because they have that mentality but they need rest.

"We don't have even one midweek off. No player can do that and be ready mentally every game.

"So, I rotate them and I am a genius when we win and when we lose, it's my fault! Next game, we will play fresh legs and against Leeds, fresh legs.

"I trust my players so much. They don't trust me but I trust them with their quality!"
