Final choice will be a ‘killer' for Pep

City stars are mad starting line-up for a place in the

PEP GUARDIOLA says his Manchester City stars are so desperate to play in the Champions League Final they would kill him for a place.

And Guardiola has admitted he ALREADY knows his line-up to face Premier League rivals Chelsea in the showpiece Euro Final on May 29.

But he’s warned his stars there can be no slacking before it – even though City have already clinched their third Premier League trophy in four seasons.

“I have an idea of my team because I know exactly how they all play,” said Guardiola.

“We have to prepare ourselves to compete in the best possible condition against Chelsea in the games we have before the Final. We cannot arrive there and say ‘ah, today we will start to play’ because that will be too late.
