Pep Guardiola makes bold Manchester City Premier League claim

Manchester City are looking the regain the Premier League title and boss Pep Guardiola has eased any worries supporters might have by insisting his side are even better this season than they were at the same stage a year ago. "In little details, we are better than last season, which is normal because we have more time together," he told Sky Sports. When quizzed on the areas in which City have improved, Guardiola added: "Our process, our build-ups, our high pressing we can use different movements, we have more alternatives to defend into the attack and we are more solid when we defend deeper." "Even in games when you are winning 2-0 or 3-0 with 20 minutes left to play I am still not comfortable in saying it's already done," he explained. "But in that game, the way we reacted after a tough week with a Champions League quarter-final against Liverpool in the middle and then United, the way we played the first 10-15 minutes in that game, said to me that we are going to win the Premier League. "Because even if we lost that, the way we reacted and showed what we were, that moment I felt we were going to win the title."
