Manchester City Can Catch Liverpool — Guardiola

By Daily Sports on October 7, 2019

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says “the distance is big” but still believes his team can catch Liverpool in the Premier League title race.

City’s 2-0 defeat by Wolves means they are now eight points behind Liverpool.

It is the biggest lead any side has had after eight games in the Premier League era – the previous biggest was Chelsea in 2014, who went on to win the title.

“I know these guys,” said Guardiola. “They are still incredibly involved and they can still do it.”

The defeat means City are experiencing their worst start since the 2013-14 campaign under Manuel Pellegrini, when they went on to win the title.

Liverpool preserved their 100% record on Saturday thanks to James Milner’s controversial injury-time penalty against Leicester.

“The distance is big, I know that,” said Guardiola. “For many circumstances, they [Liverpool] didn’t drop points. It is better not to think one team is eight points ahead. It is only October. There are still a lot of games.”

“Most of the teams who won in the past, the year after, they don’t win,” said Guardiola.

“It was a bad day,” said Guardiola. “I had a feeling today would be the day when we created less. We have faced many teams defending deep and more or less we found a way to do it but today we had a problem.” (Reuters)
