Pep Guardiola has named the club that will win the Premier League this season. 🗣 This was not at all expected from him! 😯

Manchester City’s manager, Pep Guardiola, shared his perspective on Liverpool’s current position as frontrunners in the race for the Premier League title. With Jurgen Klopp’s squad leading the table by a narrow margin, Guardiola acknowledges the significance of their standing amidst fierce competition among the top contenders. He straightforwardly attributes the label of favorite to whoever sits atop the table, thus presently identifying Liverpool as the most likely candidates for championship glory.

In a recent fixture against Arsenal, Manchester City aimed for a pivotal win, but a resilient defensive display by Arsenal led to a draw at the Etihad Stadium. Meanwhile, Liverpool capitalized on their rivals’ dropped points by securing a 2-1 victory against Brighton earlier in the day. With Jurgen Klopp’s imminent departure at the end of the season, Liverpool is determined to conclude his tenure on a high note, with Guardiola now throwing his support behind them to clinch the title under Klopp’s guidance.

Guardiola refrained from critiquing Arsenal’s defensive tactics despite some criticism, stating it’s not his place to comment on their approach. Despite Liverpool’s last league triumph being four years ago, they are eager to replicate their success, especially in front of their fervent supporters at Anfield. Despite the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic, the prospect of winning the title with a packed stadium of fans amplifies the significance for the club.
