Manchester City's Pep Guardiola: We won't prioritise Liverpool fixture

Pep Guardiola says he will not rest players for Manchester City's midweek Champions League trip ahead of their crucial Premier League clash with Liverpool on Sunday.

City face Atalanta in Milan on Wednesday, four days before lining up at Anfield and -- despite sitting five points clear at the top of Group C -- Guardiola has said he will not take any chances at the San Siro.

"We're going to play with the best team possible to win at Atalanta, and after we go to Anfield," Guardiola said.

"Nobody can assure me that if we don't do what we have to do at Atalanta then we are going to make a better performance against Liverpool.
