Man City boss Guardiola: Schedule unfair - but we're used to it

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says he won't complain about their heavy schedule.

City visit Crystal Palace in Saturday's early kickoff.

Guardiola said: "We are used to it. For many years it happened that way. We take one game at a time and don't give up. We are used to playing every three days, every month. It's not that we are new to European competition.

"Players know it and they handle it, for the large part. They each know what they have to do.

"We play [Crystal Palace] at 12.30pm on a Saturday - perfect, more time to the next game against Real Madrid for us to recover. We then play Saturday in the FA Cup - OK, it's not fair but we are going to do it."
