Manchester City host Burnley later in the day in the fourth round of the F.A Cup, and with manager Pep Guardiola keen to compete strongly at all fronts this term, the Spaniard has revealed that he won’t be naming any academy player in his starting XI against the Clarets.
“We want to win tomorrow”, Guardiola said yesterday, as reported by Sportsmail.
“That’s the only thing I can assure you of. The other stuff is fantasy. Tomorrow we’re not playing anyone from the academy.
“Always we believe in what we’ve done and what we do, always we believe, we don’t need good results, they help – I cannot deny that – but we believe in what we are trying to do.
