I don't think that's the case, It's more like the bookies also understand that it's not a must win for City (the same goes for Brighton anyways), City would still play some of it's top players if you ask me, you'd need them match fit as possible, you don't rest a player for as much as 12 days just so they don't get injured, he'd probably keep the barely fit and near fatigued players, like De Bruyne) but I would expect the Sterling and Aguero or Jesus who aren't getting much play time to be involved.
See, Sterling, and aguero did not play,,, JEsus only got 15 minutes after they were losing, so clearly Pep did not really care about it and who blames him, after the red card especially and then to go 2-0 up,,, you would never expect them to lose. When was the last time City lose after 2 goals up, I cannot remember at all:)
And we all know City chokes at these big crucial matches. i’m rooting for them to win, I’m going to bet on them to win but I wouldn’t be too surprised if we see City in their ‘off day’ at the final.
