Pep Guardiola has responded to claims about his side’s hunger to be crowned champions and namechecked Liverpool as one of Manchester City’s rivals this season.
Guardiola’s side piped Liverpool to the title last season after one of the most exciting finishes to a Premier League season. City claimed the title on the final day after coming from behind to beat Aston Villa at the Etihad.
But ahead of the start of the new season, Guardiola has explained why his side never thinks about winning the title at the start of every season. The City boss also believes it should not be forgotten that his side have won four out of the last six titles.
