'You don't have the time to think': Kevin De Bruyne says Manchester City cannot focus on the title race with Liverpool amid their hectic schedule that includes vital Champions League and FA Cup games

Kevin De Bruyne claimed the hectic schedule means Manchester City have no time to think about the ramifications of any results in the title race.

City preserved their spender one-point lead over Liverpool in Sunday's pulsating draw ahead of this week's Champions League knockout games.

Pep Guardiola's side take a one-goal lead to Atletico Madrid on Wednesday, while Liverpool boast a two-goal cushion over Benfica at Anfield, before the pair then face off again at Wembley in Saturday's FA Cup semi-final.
