With a crucial Champions League clash against Liverpool to come next week, and a 3-0 deficit to overturn, the Catalan coach faces a dilemma. Having watched their rivals Manchester United dominate English football for the majority of the 1990's and the new millennium, City fans are relishing their opportunity to get one over their bitter foes on Saturday at the Etihad Stadium. Liverpool blew City away in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie with a blistering display of attacking football. City have only once reached the Champions League semi-finals despite investing eye-watering sums of money in their playing squad. Guardiola will know that an injury to the likes of Kevin De Bruyne or David Silva would seriously harm their chances of a Champions League turnaround.
