Pep Guardiola has shut down suggestions he could be looking past Manchester City’s game against Everton and warned his side about what to expect at Goodison Park.
Pep Guardiola said: “Since I’ve been here, it’s always been so difficult because of the environment; they’re a front-foot team. The end of the season is really final, so our focus is on this game. My thought is just Everton. No more than that. It’s been 11 months working for the Premier League. We don’t have much time from Madrid because we play on Sunday, thank you so much. But it’s a real, real priority Goodison Park. We play for all competitions. We have to switch. Adapt. Four games left in the Premier League, and it’s important to us to be there to keep what we play for in our hands. We train tomorrow, and we have to prepare as well as possible. There was big results in the Premier League, but we thought in the last games everyone plays for something, and it will be tough. It can happen. They (Everton) scored the first goal (vs Brighton) in the first minute, a surprise for the two early goals; the physicality Everton have is really, really good. Anything can happen.”
