Pep Guardiola says Manchester City's Premier League clash with Chelsea on Saturday will not have any bearing on the Champions League final between the two sides later this month. City host Thomas Tuchel's Blues in the English top-flight knowing that victory will secure their third Premier League title in four years. The two teams, who also met in the FA Cup semi-finals last month, when Chelsea prevailed, will meet again in European club football's showpiece match in Istanbul on May 29. But Guardiola said the fixtures were not connected. "If we play the final in one week, six days, it could be but after tomorrow we have 21-22 days, so many things can happen," he said. 

"We just focus. Of course it is the opponent we are going to face in the final but the Premier League is so important for itself, not thinking in any other competition. "There is not one thought about the final of the Champions League because we don't have the Premier League in our hands. I'm so cautious. I think if you don't have it, you don't talk about it. "When we have the Premier League, hopefully tomorrow, then the focus will be on the final of the Champions League." City moved to the brink of the title with victory over Crystal Palace last weekend.
