Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is calm knowing they play their next two Premier League games a day after Liverpool play theirs.
A 1-0 win in the lunchtime kick-off at Newcastle on Saturday lifted the Reds two points clear at the top of the table, but City leapfrogged back into pole position by beating Leeds 4-0 at Elland Road in the evening game.
City and Liverpool play the second legs of their respective Champions League semi-finals against Real Madrid and Villarreal in midweek.
"I would say that always we play later, after them," Guardiola said. “The pressure is not too complicated to analyse.
“They play before; they are going to win all their games. We have expected that for a long time. All we have to do is win our games.
“When that happens, they are going to congratulate us. If it doesn't happen, we are going to congratulate them."
