It would be the first time that a team has won the English Championship four times in a row.
“My feeling today is that we will win the Premier League. If we play at the level we showed against Liverpool and Tottenham, we will win again. People don’t believe it after three draws, but we will do it again, knowing that it is not easy”.
“No team has yet managed to (win four titles in a row), that’s why there is this difficulty”, declared Guardiola, in a press conference this Tuesday (5).
With 30 points from 14 games, Manchester City is third in the Premier League, three points behind leaders Arsenal and one behind Liverpool.
