Not enough options! ‘Pep‘ bows his head and accepts that he probably won’t be able to catch up with ‘Liverpool’
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola called Liverpool the favourites to win the Premier League. After his side were held to a goalless home draw by title rivals Arsenal.
After Liverpool came from behind to beat Brighton 2-1 earlier in the day, Jurgen Klopp’s side top the table by two points from the Gunners with City in third, three points from the summit.
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola admits he is unlikely to catch Liverpool at the moment after their form slipped due to injury problems.
The Citizens have suffered a huge drop in form this season, winning just one of their last 11 games, while their position in the league has dropped to fifth, nine points behind Liverpool and having played one more game.
Asked about the possibility of challenging for the title this season, the Spanish boss replied: “No, we don’t have players to choose from. It’s much more difficult. I don’t know if we can catch up now. Maybe it’s possible. Who knows?”
“I feel like we have to look at ทางเข้า ufabet https://ufabet999.app the short-term now. We can’t set big goals. When you want to achieve something important, like winning the Premier League, going deep into the Champions League, what you need to do is be consistent. But right now we’re not able to do that.”
