Man City boss Guardiola nervous facing Fulham in sunny London

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola admits facing Fulham in the sun today could be an issue.

City are in London for today's early kickoff.

Guardiola said: In England, out of 12 months, 10 are winter - it's raining.

When we arrive in the early games and last games [of the season], it is something we have to think about it and talk to the players about.

We say 'it is what it is'. 8pm is completely different to 12:30, so you have to adapt.

I saw the forecast tomorrow, it's a sunny day in London, a lovely city so we have to adapt to that situation - playing in another rhythm and another way.

The passes have to be stronger and faster. To control we have to attack more the ball. It's completely different, it's not basketball.

It's like playing Wimbledon and Roland Garros, the surface is different. Talk with the tennis players. The speed of the ball is different and it's the same in football."

He added: Yesterday (Thursday) we trained part of the season with a dry pitch to adapt and to feel it.

After we went to another normal one, there is a massive difference. Massive. We have to adapt.

In six, seven, eight years, we played a few times there and we adapted. The difference it important."
