Pep Guardiola has challenged his Manchester City players to show him what they are capable of in their final three Premier League fixtures before the World Cup, as he named two rivals who could challenge them in the second part of the season.
City are second in the table ahead of the trip to Leicester and can leapfrog leaders Arsenal with a win on Saturday - although the Gunners can return to first place if they beat Nottingham Forest on Sunday. After that comes winnable fixtures against Fulham and Brentford, with Guardiola saying the next three results could define City's season.
And to illustrate his point, Guardiola said Manchester United are "finally" back and capable of sticking around in the top four, as are Newcastle, who are enjoying a fine season under Eddie Howe.
