Pep Guardiola used his pre-FA Cup final press conference to have a swipe at the Premier League for not moving Manchester City’s final home game of the season to help their Champions League bid.

City are looking to salvage their campaign over the next week, starting at Wembley in the FA Cup final against Crystal Palace before the final two matches in a bid to finish in the top five.

Guardiola wanted Tuesday’s game against Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium moved to Wednesday – and believes it would be feasible given Spurs had their game at Aston Villa switched ahead of the Europa League final.
