Pep Guardiola makes FA Cup admission after Man City dropped points

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Pep Guardiola admitted Manchester City had already started thinking about their cup finals before their final Premier League games.

City were crowned champions last weekend when Arsenal lost at Nottingham Forest and their starting XIs for the final three Premier League matches have been at less than full strength.

A 1-0 win over Chelsea was followed by a 1-1 draw at Brighton and a 1-0 defeat at Brentford on the final day, the five points dropped in their last two matches more than in their previous 13.

Even if the results have not been there, Guardiola has still been happy with the performance levels showed by a team that was always expected to drop off to some degree once they had won the league.
