Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola fires a message to Liverpool FC and Arsenal after Man City draw last night (1-1)

City boss Pep Guardiola said after their draw with Liverpool that the Premier League title race was the most open it had been in ten years.

Manchester City played with style at Anfield, which Pep Guardiola said put them in good shape for another Premier League title with ten games to go.

The away team took the lead at Anfield thanks to John Stones, but they had to hold off a Liverpool attack in the second half after giving up a goal through a penalty right after halftime. The home team wanted a penalty in the 99th minute because Jeremy Doku made a bad tackle, but the Blues held on to stay one point behind Liverpool and Arsenal.

Liverpool, led by Jurgen Klopp, is the only team to beat City to a title in the last six years. Arsenal was in first place for most of last season before falling behind. With 10 games to go, the title race is sure to get more interesting since Arsenal is going to City at the end of the month. This is more teams still in the running than is usual in English football.

Being up against two teams might make things harder for City, but Guardiola was more interested in using the facts to show how good and steady his team has been for years. Except for the year when they came in a distant second to Liverpool, they have been in the running until the end six of the last seven years.

“That is a good point to say when you think about it.” “We were always there, except for the year Liverpool won with a lot of points,” he said.

“To be there is the question. It will be hard because of the level. Arsenal needs 25 minutes to go up 3-0 in every game, but yesterday was a bit closer. We need 98 or 99 minutes to tie or win games.

“But that’s the point. We knew it with Arsenal last year when they scored 50 points in the first leg.” Our goals are set, and the teams work hard to get to the best spot. I’m not at all surprised by what’s going on right now.

“Every time it’s been quality, and you’re not going to make fun of our past Premier Leagues, I’m sorry.” I know that what makes what we’ve done good—five Premier Leagues out of six—is the strength of our opponent. This team has been our opponent for seven or eight years, and they have never lost.

“They dropped one season here and there, but they were always there.” Today, we should be praised for what we have done over the years against that opponent, Jurgen’s team. Chelsea came back last year and will stay for a long time because they have a great boss and a young team.

“There are still 10 games left, 30 points to play for, and a one-point gap.” The important thing is that we are still there, even after where we came from in past seasons.
