(Reuters) - Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says he will pick his strongest side to face Greek champions Olympiakos Piraeus in the Champions League on Tuesday, despite facing domestic rivals Liverpool in the Premier League five days later.

Illness and injuries to key first-team players means City are sitting 10th in the league standings with 11 points from six matches, representing Guardiola's worst start to a season in his coaching career.
