Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola anticipates Premier League title challengers Arsenal and Liverpool will drop crucial points in the coming weeks. The Spanish tactician shared these thoughts following his team’s surprising 3-2 defeat against Brentford on Saturday.
Guardiola acknowledged City must remain alert to capitalize on any slip-ups from their rivals. “I have that feeling with Arsenal, with Liverpool as well,” he stated. “I always believed both teams – and perhaps another contender – will lose points. That’s why we must stay ready.”
Arsenal currently lead the Premier League standings, holding a three-point advantage before Sunday’s home match against Crystal Palace. Mikel Arteta’s side has shown impressive form with six consecutive victories, conceding just once during that dominant run.
Meanwhile Liverpool slipped to sixth position after recent results but remain within striking distance of the top spots. The Premier League title race promises intense competition as Manchester City aim to close the gap on their rivals.
