Or refusing to. Either is good.

And if they don't give us a guard of honour, when the match is over we should applaud them off the pitch .... would be funny as fuck
Simple answerDo we rest players in the league if we win it early?
Don't we have a duty to put best side available if were playing relegation threatened teams?

Personally think it would be better not to win it before the derby. There is often an after the lord mayor's show feel to a game after a victory as the pressure is off. Much better to need something from that game to ensure it does not detract from the title win days earlier by the media yakking endlessly about Mourinho's mastermind tactics beating the so called champions.
I don't see it being won before or even in the derby happily as we have tough games and likely cancellations coming up and if United mess up it will be Liverpool we are counting down against.
So I suspect all this talk of the derby is irrelevant and it will be just after that.
If you take Pep at his word when he says his biggest mistake was resting players when Bayern won the league early and losing momentum then no we wont be resting players, they would be rotated to try and keep them fresh , but not mass resting.
Simple answer
Question 1 - Yes, Chumps league is No1 target for the owners.
Question 2 - Nope but it will give the press some more negative shit to write about us. Remember as well that there is no such thing at city as a "first choice 11" so as long as we put out 11 players then that should be fine.
