“In the position of Liverpool, we drop points, it’s over. It’s finished. It would be almost impossible. Of course I think they’re going to drop points, but not too many.

''If we want to be there as far as possible until the end, we have to win games.

"The problem in the other team is fantastic. Maybe the best team in Europe or the world right now and in top form. You have to accept it.

“When Liverpool is seven points in front it’s because they don’t lose a game, they don’t concede, they start in incredible form, top players, all together four or five years with Jurgen Klopp,'' Guardiola explained according to Telegraph.

Meanwhile, Liverpool are still unbeaten this season and they are topping the Premier League table with 54 points after 20 games played this season.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Premier League defending champions Manchester City returned to winning ways for the first time since December 15 following their 3-1 win over Southampton at Saint Mary's Stadium.

A goal each from David Silva and Sergio Aguero, including an own goal from James Ward Prowse handed the champions maximum points in the meeting.
