London – Pep Guardiola insists Manchester City cannot use its grueling schedule as an excuse if it fails to win the Premier League title.
Guardiola's second-place side is six points behind leader Arsenal heading into the final weeks of the season.
But City's title bid could be hampered by a pile-up of matches after its games against Crystal Palace and Bournemouth were given new dates on either side of the FA Cup final against Chelsea on May 16.
