Pep Guardiola sends message to Liverpool over Premier League title race

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola thinks it's unlikely for the club to reach the leaders Liverpool in the Premier League title race. The Reds stay unbeaten, standing on the 1st place of the Premier League table with 11 points ahead of the Blues. The latters are on the 3rd place with one point behind Leicester City. City have fallen in the race for the Premier League title, and Guardiola admits Liverpool are too close to winning their first league title. He said: "When a team has 16 victories from 17 [games] it’s unrealistic to think we are going to chase them. It’s unrealistic right now. We have to try to win our games, secure Champions League for next season and then you never know, no? If they drop a couple of games, and we win and win, I don’t know. When one team lose one game in the last 53 or 54, I’m not optimistic that they are going to lose four or five in ten or eleven games because they are incredibly strong." The Citizens have two fixtures against Wolves and Sheffield United on their Christmas schedule, while Liverpool will face Leicester City and welcome Wolves to Anfield on 29 December. The City boss is unimpressed with the Premier League’s scheduling, as the club has has two games in less than 48 hours. "I wrote a letter to the Premier League to say thank you and we are going to the fridge after Wolves to get ready for Sheffield United. We are training [Dec.] 23 and 24. The night of 24 is off, the morning of 25 off. Then 26 training and 27 Nuno’s team [Wolves]," he added. Source: Metro UK
