Pep Guardiola acknowledges Liverpool’s victory and shares with the team what he has told them about Man City.

On Sunday, Liverpool increased their lead over the other teams in the Premier League by two points. Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has been discussing the team’s prospects.

In the Premier League title battle, Pep Guardiola has given Liverpool the upper hand after a goalless draw between Manchester City and Arsenal. After the Reds defeated Brighton at Anfield, the two other contenders for the title were unable to be separated.

Jürgen Klopp’s team was the main winner, taking a two-point lead over Arsenal at what proved to be a crucial juncture in the title quest. With nine games left, an exciting finish is anticipated as Manchester City now trails by one more point.

The biggest match of the weekend ended in a draw, with Manchester City struggling to break through Arsenal’s strong defence and ultimately sharing the points. This situation puts Liverpool in a strong position, and should they win their next games, Klopp might end his time at Anfield with the highly sought-after championship.

Guardiola acknowledged that Liverpool was now the front-runner to win the championship when asked. We’re third, Arsenal is second, and first is always the favourite. It’s not under our control. The next game is against Aston Villa, so aim to win. It’s easy.

“We accept the argument. We made an effort. Both of us and them didn’t produce much. They were very tough and very compact in their defence. We’re still there as a team.

“In certain ways, we could have done better, but overall, I’m happy. I told the group not to be depressed. Arsenal deserves praise for the things they accomplish. It’s not easy, but maybe in the last third we miss a little of it.

“The previous match at the Emirates was fairly comparable. Although it is difficult, we tried to produce a little bit more. They were the best in the league because they were excellent at what they did; now it’s Liverpool. They had a strong season both last year and this one.”

According to Liverpool.com. Guardiola is making every effort to exert pressure on Liverpool, but the Reds must win each game on the road. Aston Villa could surprise everybody on Wednesday by winning their match against Manchester City, but Liverpool must first defeat Sheffield United before playing Manchester United the following weekend. The Premier League title is certain with nine more wins, but the Reds can probably afford to lose at least one game during that stretch.
