“So physically they could have an advantage and surprise City. That’s what I hope, of course. Let’s see, I still think we will win it.”
Guardiola may rotate several of his starting XI for Saturday’s match against second-tier opposition ahead of the visit of Arsenal. The Spaniard claimed after the draw with Bayern that some players may not recover in time to play at Wembley.
He told BT Sport: “Every time we play FA Cup after this competition we are exhausted, the team are exhausted, so I don’t know how we are going to recover to play against Sheffield [United]. We are playing Saturday, we cannot play on Sunday because of course [Manchester] United have Europa League.
“It’s so demanding and I don’t know how far we will arrive because now it is a tough moment for the game on Saturday.”
