Pep Guardiola sounds Man City alarm bells as Liverpool advantage emerges

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has provided a worrying update on the physical toll of his team's European exertions, revealing physios were required on 71 occasions against Atletico Madrid.

It's a stark contrast to title rivals Liverpool, who have found themselves close to full strength after coming through their quarter-final with Benfica. Roberto Firmino is the only injury doubt for the Merseyside club ahead of their derby clash with Everton over the weekend after missing the victory over Manchester United, but the Brazilian is still expected to be available.

City were beaten by Jurgen Klopp's side in their FA Cup semi-final on Saturday, with the Reds scoring three times in the first half to seal their path to the final. The Liverpool is the focus for both sides this weekend, though, with Klopp's men putting the pressure on their rivals with a win on Tuesday night.
