'Nothing' - Pep Guardiola sends Liverpool message to Man City

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola believes the lead at the top of the Premier League his side hold over Liverpool is 'nothing'.

Liverpool's win over Leicester City on Thursday night closed the gap to nine points on Man City, who have played one match more.

If Jurgen Klopp's team were to win their game in hand, at home to Leeds United February 23, then at that point the gap could be just six points.

City then welcome Liverpool to the Etihad Stadium for an enormous encounter on April 9.

And Guardiola has highlighted how another huge points tally will be needed to win this season's Premier League.

“The margin to Liverpool is nothing. We have to win a lot of games, more than 90 points, 95 or 96 to be champions, I’m pretty sure," said Guardiola.

"It’s the way you lose, many times we lost as a great team, it’s the way you lose.

“Nobody wins always but we have to win, fight to win the Premier League, have to win an incredible amount of points against these opponents."
