Pep Guardiola will consider freshening up his City side after a gruelling week that has seen us move top of the Premier League.

City made it three wins on the bounce in the Premier League in April with a 1-0 victory away to Burnley courtesy of Erling Haaland’s early goal.

Coming after a victory over title rivals Arsenal, it means we have cut a nine-point gap this month during that time to lead the way on goal scored with both teams level on points and goal difference.

A testing run of games sees us now face Southampton in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on Saturday 25 April with a 17:15 (UK) kick-off.

“Now we have to think about it a lot because I had a lot of doubts about the line-up today because of the fatigue on Sunday,” Guardiola said after the match.

“In previous weeks we didn’t have a lot of fatigue as it was only a game a week. Now it will be three in a row in three days, go to London.

“I know that if we win it will be a good decision and if we lose it will be a bad decision.”

Asked about the sort of changes, he added: “I don’t know what I’m going to do. We will think. We need players with rhythm and ones who haven’t played.

We will see. I have two nights to sleep and we will see.”
