Pep Guardiola has shifted the pressure back onto Liverpool’s shoulders in the title race as the gap at the top of the Premier League table remains four points. Both sides won this weekend although Liverpool made tough work of their home game against Crystal Palace, eventual emerging as 4-3 winners after a crazy 90 minutes.
City found things easier against bottom side Huddersfield, as they cruised to a 3-0 win, barely getting out of second gear. The Terriers look way off the pace this season in the top flight and this was yet another game where the quality between the two sides was huge. Huddersfield have won just two league games this season but City continued their fine goalscoring form, they have now hit a huge 22 goals in their last four games.
Pep remained relaxed after the game commenting: “I would rather be in Liverpool’s position.
“All we can do is win our games. Improve, analyse our games and try to improve.
“I cannot answer about Liverpool every press conference. Now we have Carabao Cup. We will see.”
“We have to try and find the reason why we didn’t play quicker or better.
“After what these guys have done in 16, 17 months, it can’t be lack of intensity or not wanting to run.
“We didn’t make passes in a row, we had to move it quicker. We spoke about what we should do in the second half.”
City face Burton in their League Cup semi-final which is all over after a 9-0 drubbing in the first leg. Next weekend they are also in Cup action taking on Burnley in the FA Cup.
