Guardiola gave Manchester City players 2 days of rest ahead of the important match
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has given his players a two-day break to ensure they are fully rested ahead of their critical clash with Arsenal on April 19. The team focused only on light recovery sessions to avoid heavy physical strain before the high-stakes match. This encounter is pivotal for the Premier League title race, as a victory would allow City to close the gap on league leaders Arsenal. Currently, Arsenal leads by six points, though City holds a game in hand.
Manchester City head coach Josep Guardiola gave his players two days of rest ahead of an important match. This was reported by journalist Paul Hirst.
According to the source, the club’s coaching staff held only a light recovery training session in order not to overload the main squad. After that, the players were given an additional two days of rest and were temporarily released from training at the base.
The central match of the 33rd round of the English Premier League — the meeting between Manchester City and Arsenal — will take place on April 19. This game may have a serious impact on the title race.
If Guardiola’s team manages to defeat the “Gunners,” the Manchester side will have the opportunity to close the gap on their rivals in the title race. This will make the battle in the league table even more intense.
At the moment, Arsenal are leading the table with 70 points and are 6 points ahead of Manchester City. However, Guardiola’s team has one game in hand, which still keeps the situation open.
If City beat Arsenal, the next important step will be to defeat Crystal Palace in the postponed match of the 31st round. In this way, the fight for the championship will move into an even more intense stage.
