Man City manager Pep Guardiola says 12-point gap behind Premier League leader Liverpool is too much to make up
Manchester City avoided Champions League humiliation. Now back to the job of salvaging the Premier League season.
Manager Pep Guardiola admitted this week he could not imagine City going on to be crowned champion of Europe for the second time in three years with a playoff against Real Madrid or Bayern Munich awaiting.But even though Guardiola believes the 12-point gap to leader Liverpool is too much to make up, chasing down second-placed Arsenal is a far more realistic prospect.
City and the Gunners meet at Emirates Stadium on Sunday with Arsenal desperately trying to stay within reach of Liverpool and City on the rise again after an alarming midseason collapse. Victory against Arsenal would move City to within three points of Mikel Arteta’s title hopeful and put second place in reach.Guardiola has been unusually active during the January window in a bid to turn around a season that was lurching toward crisis at the end of last year. Around US$150-million has been spent on Egypt forward Omar Marmoush and defenders Abdukodir Khusanov and Vitor Reis.
