The manager of Manchester City, Pep Guardiola, thinks that Liverpool will continue to pose the greatest threat to his team’s championship defense in the Premier League.
On Sunday at Anfield, tenth-placed Liverpool will play host to second-placed City. The Reds are 13 points behind Guardiola’s team.
The table is currently headed by Arsenal, with Antonio Conte’s Tottenham finishing third, three points behind City.
When questioned on Friday, Guardiola responded that Liverpool “always have been” City’s major title challengers.
With 10 games remaining, he responded, “If you posed that question, I would say I don’t think Liverpool can catch the top of the league.”

“However, given our current circumstance and the World Cup, everything is possible.
“I am aware of their caliber.
I don’t anticipate anything different because it’s always been a challenging game.
Liverpool won the 2019–20 season by 18 points over City, who had won four of the last five Premier League championships.
When City came from behind to defeat Aston Villa 3-2 last season to deprive Jurgen Klopp’s team the Premier League title and a shot at the “quadruple,” the Reds forced the game to extra time twice in prior seasons.
In the final, Liverpool had more shots, possession, and everything else, but they lost. At the time, Liverpool was vying for four prestigious English football titles.
Things can happen because this is the same team and manager.
It is a characteristic of the competition. I analyze as a team, never looking at good or negative times since I always hope for the best.
The title might be decided in this weekend’s game, according to Klopp, but “not with us.”
The Liverpool manager said, “Of course, in the seasons when we were both running away, they enabled us to keep going, but this season is definitely different.”
