PEP'S POINT OF PRINCIPLE

Guard will change to seal CL spot

- by SIMON MULLOCK

PEP GUARDIOLA insists he'll be judged on results alone - and is prepared to change his philosophy if it guarantees the point Manchester City need to seal Champions League qualification.

City start the final day in third and with a superior goal difference to Newcastle, Chelsea, Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest - but a defeat at Fulham would open the door for all four of their rivals to overtake them.

After Ruben Amorim’s refusal to change his beliefs led to a Europa League Final defeat and more doubts about his future, Guardiola is under no illusions that he will be judged on if City get over the line. He said: “The manager is good if you win - if you don’t then his decisions are wrong. Any plan when you win, that's really, really, good.
