Ahead of Guardiola and City lies a tough task of five games in 14 days with their next match being UEFA Champions League clash against FC Copenhagen on Tuesday evening.
After that they will have to brace themselves for the big game against the struggling Liverpool to take place on Sunday and that will give the Spanish tactician a chance to give many players a run.
“Yes it is true, the last 25, 30 minutes when games are tight, that is when fatigue and risk for injuries rise,” he told Manchaster City website.
“Lately we were lucky to score goals in the first half. Not to rest players or avoid fatigue, but because it’s good to play everyone and when we need them they will be ready.

“Every game is different. Players can handle 90 minutes. I like when everyone can help the team and play as best as possible and reach the best level. I like this.
“Now we have a weapon with more substitutions. That doesn’t mean you always use it. Sometimes I will use five, we will see.”
Meeting FC Copenhagen for the second time in the group stages, City will be looking to grab another three points against the Danish giants after they crushed the 5-0 at Etihad last week.
Guardiola understands it’s not going to be easy for the Citizens.

“As in every game, we will not underestimate them. The nature of the manager and the players they have.
“We will try to reach the later stages of the competition.
“Tomorrow will not be an exception. If it doesn’t happen, it will be because Copenhagen are at their best. In the Champions League, your chances are few and we have to use them.”
