Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has acknowledged the critical importance of his team avoiding further setbacks in the Premier League title race. As the defending champions aim for an unprecedented fourth consecutive title, they find themselves trailing behind Arsenal and Liverpool in third place.
Ahead of their match against Luton Town, with Liverpool hosting Crystal Palace and Aston Villa visiting Arsenal on Sunday, Guardiola stressed the significance of every league encounter.
“The Premier League holds immense importance for us. I anticipate a match akin to our previous encounters in the league, such as our 2-1 victory towards the FA Cup’s conclusion. We must remain prepared,” Guardiola emphasized to reporters today. “With our sights set on the title, dropping points is simply not an option.”
