Ian Wright alludes to Guardiola comment as reason for Man City blip vs Palace

Arsenal hero Ian Wright has agreed with Pep Guardiola that the volume of games Manchester City have to contend with during the run-in could be a reason for their defensive lapses, such as seen against Crystal Palace.

Like title rivals Arsenal and Liverpool, City have European football to contend with this week. The Treble winners face Real Madrid in Spain on Tuesday in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final bout ahead of Luton Town at home on Saturday.ALSO READ: Real Madrid given 'dark arts' warning as Carlo Ancelotti gives two things he doesn't want to see

City sit third in the Premier League table, a point off leaders Arsenal, with seven matches left. They secured a 4-2 win away at Crystal Palace at Saturday lunchtime, having initially gone behind in the game. “We were not solid defensively today,” the City manager told the BBC. “But I give it for the reason of three days, three days, three days. At the end, we demand the players a lot.”
