Pep Guardiola urges Manchester City to remain focused for title run-in

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said Liverpool’s surprise derby defeat to Everton served as a warning to his players ahead of a 4-0 thrashing of Brighton.

Guardiola, whose reigning champions have a game in hand over their two closest rivals, insists the Reds remain contenders and acknowledges City are also susceptible to slipping up during the run-in. “Everton is playing to avoid the relegation zone and we have a similar game at Nottingham Forest and they play for their lives.

City eased their way into Thursday evening’s clash at the Amex Stadium before De Bruyne’s superb diving header and Foden’s quick-fire brace put them in complete control at the break. “We know that if we don’t win or we draw, we will not have chance to fight until the end, so of course the pressure is there, otherwise we cannot perform that well.Brighton’s persistence in playing out from the back contributed to their own downfall on a difficult evening.
