But the boss admits the game after, away to Liverpool, is, in his opinion, the most difficult fixture on the Premier League calendar.
“It is always [a huge test],” said Guardiola.
“But after the game (against Southampton), I am really, really tired.
“After three games (in seven days), I don’t have any intention to think about Liverpool, I will think about Copenhagen, and we want to finish at the top of the group.
“After Copenhagen I have four days to prepare for the game in Anfield.
“But I don’t have to tell you how competitive it will be - the biggest test we can face in England.”
