Premier League: Pep Guardiola Predicts Title Outcome, Says ‘They’re Already Done’
Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola, has insisted that Liverpool are still top contenders for the Premier League title.
He said the Reds should not be ruled out of the title race with Arsenal despite their poor run of form.
Going into this weekend’s matches, Liverpool had been defeated in their previous three Premier League games.
However, the Reds thumped Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
They are currently four points behind leaders Arsenal, while City are three points behind the Gunners.
Manchester United will play Aston Villa on Sunday, while Arsenal and Liverpool have matches against Crystal Palace and Brentford, respectively.
Addressing his pre-match press conference, the former Barcelona manager was asked if he believes the Cityzens are flying under the radar in the Premier League title race.
He replied, “Well, in the first two games, three games, yeah for sure we [City] are out.
“And Liverpool is already done, and now it looks like Liverpool is done. And I’ll tell you that they will be back.
“I’ve said many times, I know all the pundits, all the specialists or former players, they know everything that is going to happen after five games. I’m not able to do that.
“So, I always wait for 10, 15 games to know exactly what is going on. But I think obviously Liverpool and Arsenal are there, someone else will be there, and hopefully we can be there.”
