GUARDIOLA: WE HAVE TAKEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO REST THIS WEEK | Manager’s Preview | Man City v Brighton

Pep Guardiola said City have made the most of the rare week-long preparation for Saturday’s Premier League meeting with Brighton & Hove Albion. The Blues are the only top flight side in England not to have played since last weekend after our clash with Arsenal was postponed due to the London side’s rearranged Europa League meeting with PSV Eindhoven. With a full-on schedule throughout the season, Guardiola was grateful for the chance to rest earlier this week - something that many of the Premier League sides not in European competition enjoy more often. “We are used to playing in the last stages of the competitions,“ he said. “All the team who don’t play in Europe always have an advantage over the teams who do play in Europe. “We will take this one. Normally we play the games and don’t have time to rest. We complain? Never. It is what it is.“ SUBSCRIBE! @mancity About the Official Man City YouTube Channel: Here you will find all the latest videos from Manchester City, including, all Premier League goals, highlights, behind-the-scenes footage, training and much more.
