Pep Guardiola had no regrets about rotating his squad after a much-changed Manchester City were held 0-0 by Huddersfield in the FA Cup.

The sides will replay their fifth-round tie the week after next after City, who made eight changes at the John Smith's Stadium, were frustrated by the Championship promotion-chasers.

Huddersfield also made seven changes as it was clear both managers had other priorities and, even though the addition to the fixture list was not ideal, Guardiola defended his decision.
