Pep Guardiola said Manchester City would not allow the eventual backlog to divert the Club from our quest for success this season.
The Blues are still looking for money on four fronts, after reaching the Carabao Cup semi-final, the last 16 games of the Champions League and the fourth round of the FA Cup, while seeking to maintain our Premier League crown.
This means that there could be a number of key games that will have to be put to the horn in the final stages of the season.
If the Blues confirm our place in the final of the Carabao Cup, our trip to the league at Everton, scheduled for February 23, will have to be reorganized. And if City and / or Manchester United reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup, the Old Trafford derby – scheduled for March 16 – will also require a new date.
At his pre-game press conference in anticipation of Sunday's trip to Huddersfield, the blues boss He was asked whether he feared that this would harm the Blues – especially since the leaders of the league, Liverpool, have already been eliminated from competitions of the national cup.

"Of course, when you are fresh mentally and in the legs at the end of the season, it's fine, but when you play every three days, everyone is paced," Guardiola said.
"Sometimes when you play once every 10 days, the rhythm is wrong.
"When you win games and you go to the quarterfinals and semi-finals (cup competitions), it's a huge enthusiasm and concentration for everyone.
"So, if we leave, it's because the other team is better, but we will not drop any competition.

"Of course, I'm a little worried (about the calendar) but that's what it is. What can we do?
"If we reach the final of the Carabao Cup, we will postpone our game to Everton, possibly between the matches of Chelsea and Arsenal or maybe in another week, and we'll see when the league will decide.
"What they decide, we will play that day."
The Blues boss was also questioned about Leroy Sane's superb figure – and whether the German winger could be a particularly important figure in the physically tough final of the season as he does not participated in the final phase of the World Cup last summer.

"Some players have played the World Cup in a wonderful way and during the season are not at the top level, others are on the contrary: they have not made the World Cup and have a good season" Guardiola added.
"I do not make many suggestions about what happened in the past. They are young guys and they want to play, and we take care of them in the best way possible.
"Doctors and doctors have incredible control over what players need from what they eat.
"After three seasons together, we knew each other perfectly and we wanted to play."
