We’ll win fourth straight Premier League title – Guardiola
Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, says his side are going to win a record fourth consecutive Premier League title this season.
City have slipped to third, three points off leaders Arsenal, after draws with Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham.
Guardiola’s side have conceded eight goals in those games and thrown away leads in each, but are still favourites with the bookmakers for the title.
“My feeling today is we’re going to win the Premier League,” said Guardiola.
“If we play at the levels that we showed against Liverpool and Tottenham, we’re going to win it again.
“People don’t believe it already after three draws but we feel we’re going to do it again, knowing that it is not easy because no team has done it yet [won four in a row].
“The difficulty is there and was last season but, if you ask me today what I’m feeling, we’re going to do it again.”
City matched Manchester United’s record of three consecutive Premier League titles when they won the treble last season.
At one stage they were eight points behind Arsenal last season, but won the league by five points.
The previous season saw City edge Liverpool out by a point, coming from 2-0 down against Aston Villa on the final day to win the league by a single point.
They finished 12 points clear of Manchester United the season before. —BBC
