Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has named Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool as their biggest title challengers, not Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, as quoted in The Manchester Evening News.
Arsenal are having a wonderful season at the moment, and are above both Manchester City and Liverpool in the Premier League table.
The Gunners are at the top of standings now with 24 points from nine matches, a point ahead of second-placed and defending champions City.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are as low as 10th in the league table with 10 points from eight matches.
Liverpool and Manchester City will face each other at Anfield in the Premier League this weekend.
Manchester City’s Pep Guardiola overlooks Arsenal, mentions Liverpool
When asked if Liverpool are still their biggest title challengers, Klopp said: “Always have been. Yeah. Cause I know the quality they have.
“If it was like this with 10 games left I would say I don’t think they can catch but now anything can happen.”
Title race
We have seen in years gone by how Liverpool have pushed Manchester City for the Premier League title until the final weeks of the season.
Could it happen again this season?
It really looks unlikely at the moment.
Liverpool are so far behind City that it is hard to envisage the Merseyside club challenging for the title.
Arsenal now seem to be Manchester City’s main challengers for the Premier League.
It remains to be seen if the Gunners are able to maintain consistency.
