Pep Guardiola sends Arsenal and Liverpool major title warning amid honest Man City admission

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has fired back at his critics whilst sending a major Premier League title warning to the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool. The Cityzens have won each of the last three titles, with no team ever able to win four on the bounce.

Of course, City will be desperate to be the first to do so, although they have struggled to keep up with the pack so far this term. Liverpool currently lead the race, sitting on 42 points from their first 19 outings whilst Arsenal are second, having accrued 40 points from 18 fixtures.

Meanwhile, Guardiola's side find themselves down in fifth, eight points behind the league leaders, albeit having only played 17 times so far this term. “This is the business,” Guardiola said, via The Times.

“When you don’t win you are nothing, zero. As much as you win they want you to fail more than ever. I’ve felt that since day one in Barcelona, that people are waiting. But what we have won, the titles, is unbelievable.”

But Guardiola has sent out a warning, urging his doubters to reconsider. “The people say, ‘How good they play, the methodology, how genius it is,’ but it’s because I win,” he added.

“They don’t understand anything that we do, but they give credit just because we win. You have to look further than that. In the moment you don’t win there are going to be doubts, but that’s what’s nice. Doubt again. We’ll see what happens.
