Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola warned Liverpool that his players are determined to maintain the pressure after moving back within four points of the Premier League leaders.
Gabriel Jesus scored twice as Manchester City eased to a 3-0 win over 10-man Wolves at the Etihad Stadium on Monday night.
It was a convincing response to Liverpool’s victory at Brighton on Saturday and Pep Guardiola wants his side to be ready to pounce on any slip-ups by Jurgen Klopp’s team in the title race.
Guardiola said: “We cannot play the games against Liverpool. All we can do is win our games. We cannot control what they do, we can control what we do.
The only way to do that is to be there – be there and maybe one day they fail.
“It’s pretty sure if we don’t win, they will be champions and that is why we have to put pressure by winning our games.
“It is incredible the numbers we have in this period, the number to be champion no problem at all – but one team has done better so far. All we can do is be there and be there to the end.”
