Liverpool, who are in first place with 31 points, are eight points clear of 7th-placed Manchester City. However, The Citizens still have one game to postpone.
“Okay, Liverpool games are getting more and more. However, there are many different points. They still have their scoring moments,” Guardiola told Amazon Prime Sport, quoted from the Liverpool Echo.
“They scored seven goals away at Crystal Palace and I watched them play well in the win over Tottenham Hotspur last week,” said Guardiola.
Guardiola praised Liverpool’s stability, but asked his players to concentrate on the team. The problem is Manchester City need to be fully focused because it was stumbling at the start of the season.
“No worries about how good Liverpool are. But I spoke to some of the players to tell them that,” said Guardiola.
“When Ada is in 9th position in the standings, you try next week to move up to 8th place, then 7th the following week.”
“You try to get to the Europa League, then to the Champions League. Then, anything can happen. We couldn’t concentrate so much because we lost some points. It’s like football,” he said.
