Liverpool can still beat Manchester City and Arsenal to the Premier League title, Pep Guardiola has boldly insisted.

Guardiola’s City side moved closer to winning a fourth straight title after thrashing Brighton 4-0 on Thursday night.

Following the 2-0 loss in the Merseyside derby on Wednesday, Jurgen Klopp and Virgil van Dijk were very pessimistic about their chances, but Guardiola insists they are still in it.
Asked whether he felt the title race was just between Man City and Arsenal now, the manager told BBC Sport: ‘It is not.

‘What is important is that still we are there. There is a lot of games to play.
