Pep Guardiola has revealed that Manchester City's congested fixture list is already causing problems ahead of their clash with Newcastle on Saturday.
City collected their first silverware of the campaign on Wednesday as they defeated Seville in Greece to win the UEFA Super Cup.
The club will next play host to Newcastle at the Etihad on Saturday, with the game marking the club's third in eight days since the return of the Premier League.
'We want to continue to compete and we are now in a big, big problem,' Guardiola told reporters ahead of their clash with Newcastle.
