Pep Guardiola provides 16-word secret behind Manchester City’s fitness success as update provided for Fulham clash

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has offered his take on what the ‘secret’ is behind the club’s strong fitness status for the course of a 55-game season.

The boost to Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City squad comes at a vital time for the club’s hopes of becoming the first side to win the Premier League title in four successive seasons, as well as their FA Cup final plans for the end of the month.

City know that they are three wins away from achieving the feat, with Fulham being the first of two away games in the space of four days, with the Champions returning to London on Tuesday night for a clash against Tottenham.
