Guardiola Expecting Tough Brighton Test in Decisive Final Game

By Daily Sports on May 11, 2019

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says that Brighton ‘defend well’ and will pose a tough test in their final game of the Premier League season.

The reigning champions can seal the title with a win as they currently sit a point clear of Jurgen Klopp’s men, who face Wolves on an intriguing final day.

Guardiola is hoping to make a fast start against Brighton, who impressively held Arsenal to a draw last time out and almost got a creditable point at Tottenham last month.

“It will be nice if we score first but we analyse Brighton and know how well they defend,” Guardiola said.

The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich tactician has hailed his side’s consistency in the title run-in and has told them to be wary not to make silly mistakes that could cost them in their last game against Brighton and Hove Albion.

“It’s a privilege. We are in this position because we won a lot of games, 13 in a row, we have to win one more in the Premier League and that is what we have to do,” he said at his pre-match press conference.

“I see the team relaxed, training good, smiling a lot, completely focused on the pitch or in meetings.

“Anything can happen in the game and one mistake of our side or one incredible performance from the opponent, one mistake from the referee can decide the title.

“That’s why we have to be more precise in all the aspects we are working with these last three years and try to win the game.” (Goal)
