: Pep Guardiola: The Manchester City Manager Claims That If His Team Loses to Leicester, they "Will Not Be Champions"

Posted : 18 April 2023
If Manchester City loses against Leicester City in the Premier League on Saturday, manager Pep Guardiola claims his team "will not be champions."

With a victory over the Foxes, Guardiola's team would fall three points behind league-leading Arsenal with 30 games remaining.

"Everybody knows that if we lose games we lose competitions," he said.

On Wednesday, April 26, City will play Mikel Arteta's team in what may be a title-deciding matchup after City defeated the Gunners 3-1 earlier in the season.

Guardiola added: "It's the same tomorrow - if we lose the game, we will not be champions. If we win we could still be there.
"That's why our attention to details is higher."

While Arsenal, who travels to West Ham on Sunday, is out of all cup competitions and has just eight games left in the season, City are still in the Champions League and FA Cup.

"We are six points behind Arsenal, a team who have dropped few points during the season and have one game a week, with a lot of time for recovery, to analyse and prepare for games," Guardiola added.

"It's so difficult if you drop points. That's why you have to be there as much as possible."

However, the City boss is hoping his team's history of dealing with a busy schedule will work in their favour.

"Sometimes our experience, when we are [playing] games every three days, every four days, we are in rhythm and focus and that helps us. In the past it was like that, playing competitions until the end," he said.

"Sometimes when you have a week [between games] you lose this type of feeling."

Dean Smith, who was hired on Tuesday after Brendan Rodgers was fired earlier this month, will be Leicester's new manager for their debut game. Leicester is currently ranked 19th in the table.
