Pep Guardiola has said that his Manchester City players will be too focused on preparing for the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea to think about Liverpool's clash with Manchester United on Sunday.
City face the Blues at Wembley a mere 14 days after hammering Maurizio Sarri's side 6-0 at the Etihad, a result that heaped more pressure on an already under-fire manager, but Guardiola feels that the result could actually work against his team.
Indeed, the Catalan boss called for his players to remain focused against a Stamford Bridge side that will be out for revenge, meaning there will be little time to focus on title rivals Liverpool's clash with United which kicks off a little more than two hours earlier.
