Pep Guardiola jokes he wishes Man City played Liverpool a day earlier

Pep Guardiola said that Manchester City vs Liverpool would be better on Saturday - because it would avoid clashing with the final day of The Masters.

City take on Liverpool on Sunday afternoon in a highly anticipated clash between the two best sides in club football, and the stakes could hardly be higher; one point separates them at the top of the table, with a huge three up for grabs at the Etihad. With a high-quality match enhanced even more by the stakes, millions will be tuning in.

Guardiola cut a relaxed figure throughout his press conference ahead of the game, joking that he would only invite Jurgen Klopp for a glass of wine after the game if City won and saying that he would sleep like a baby this weekend before enjoying the football. And the keen golfer joked that he had a bone to pick with the Premier League for scheduling the match at the same time as Tiger Woods could be playing in his final round at Augusta.
