Pep Guardiola Makes Title Race Prediction

The Manchester City manager explained that consistency is the key to winning the title. He further mentioned that even though Arsenal dropped points against Aston Villa, it is highly unlikely that they will do so often.

Pep Guardiola shared, "But from my experience, sorry, I don’t want to feel arrogant but I have experience of winning the Premier League titles, it’s to be consistent. The consistency comes just from one thing, from the way you play. Not for the result one day or the victory, going two points behind or four points in front. It’s the consistency of how much you perform, how much you grow during the year."

He further added, "In the Premier League I had the feeling that Arsenal, even though today they dropped points, they are going to drop few, few, few points. If you want to be there, you have to win games, games, and games, and games come from the way you perform. Not just from a lucky day or a lucky action."
