Pep Guardiola is certain that his Manchester City team will be prepared to capitalize on their "once-in-a-lifetime" chance to capture the triple crown.
After clinching the Premier League title last weekend, City is now concentrating on the FA Cup and Champions League finals that will take place next month, in which they will play either Manchester United or Inter Milan.
Prior to the players' two days off, City must end their Premier League season, which they will accomplish on Sunday at Brentford.
Next week, they will go back to training and devote their whole attention to the two glamour ties.
Everyone is aware of the situation we are in, according to City boss Guardiola. It only happens once or twice in a lifetime?
Being crowned Premier League champions three games before the season's finish and having to compete in two finals are exceptional seasons.
"Once we arrive, you must first of all unwind, take it all in, and give it your all. However, nobody can guarantee that we will be in that situation again.
"They're prepared. I observe numerous aspects, such as how the players travel on their days off to make treatments, how long they stay to complete the treatments, and how each player is anxious that they might not be able to participate in the FA Cup and Champions League finals.
"When you notice that, you are under no obligation to act or say anything.
"We prepare for the finals the same way we do for every game. We won't alter any of our routines.
In light of the importance of the games that will come after, City has a number of fitness questions going into the trip to the Gtech Community Stadium, and Guardiola might not want to take any extra chances.
The main issue is the hamstring ailment Nathan Ake has been dealing with for the last five games, although John Stones and Phil Foden also picked up injuries at Brighton in midweek.
