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.

Guardiola’s men are back in action on Wednesday
Spurs have been given an extra day’s rest after their comfortable 4-0 victory over Huddersfield early on Saturday afternoon.
“I don’t understand why the Premier League didn’t put the game at 12.30 on Saturday,” Guardiola said at his press conference on Tuesday.
