Guardiola has confirm some players will out from the game against villa. IMO, this could be considered as a serious consideration for bookmakaers caused by city is gonna face villa without weaker squad as some important players will be missing this game. The odds is pretty small for this match. .
This is what is expected of Pep Guardiola to do, to keep out and group the Manchester City players according to the matches they have for this week and next week.
By tomorrow they will play against Aston Villa, in three days, they will play against Crystal Palace and in the next three days they will face Real Madrid. All of their match to play for this week and next week are three-day intervals and that's what Pep Guardiola has to plan properly to know how to fixture the Manchester players according to match toughness.
For the Aston Villa and Crystal Palace match, Pep Guardiola will use few of Manchester City first eleven for the two matches and for Real Madrid, which is the Champions League match, he will make use of the Manchester City squad at his disposal to face Real Madrid because a win or draw is important since they are having away match at Real Madrid home.
