Pep Guardiola has admitted Manchester City are ‘really tired’ ahead of the club’s upcoming fixtures with Leeds and Real Madrid.

“I will be focused on their physical and mental [state] for this game. After [that, then I will think about] Madrid,” Guardiola told his pre-match press conference.

“With the Premier League it is important to go four points in front of Arsenal. Really important that all our focus is on the game tomorrow.

“I’m thinking how, after a lot of games and tension, I see the team is really tired after the demand from West Ham and Fulham.

“I have to see how the players recover this, three days from the previous game.”
