Pep Guardiola has criticised the Premier League for scheduling Manchester City’s fixture against Crystal Palace just three days before the Champions League clash with Spurs.
City, who can still complete a famous quadruple, beat Palace 3-1 at Selhurst Park on Sunday ahead of Wednesday’s quarter-final – which they currently trail 1-0 after the first leg.
