Pep says quadruple dream could quickly come unstuck

Pep Guardiola realises he cannot stop his Manchester City players dreaming about winning the quadruple, but the City boss will urge them to think game by game in their pursuit of an unprecedented clean sweep.

City, who have already won the Carabao Cup this season, face key games in the next six days in the other three competitions they can win. The reigning champions can return to the top of the Premier League with victory over Cardiff at the Etihad Stadium tonight. They then face Brighton in the FA Cup semi-finals on Saturday, and Tottenham in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final next Tuesday.
