Guardiola: A Blip Can Deny Us The Title

By Nigel Philips

Manchester City boss Guardiola believes that between his side and the Liverpool team, there is a small margin that could decide on whether his side or Liverpool will win the Premier League title on Sunday.

The defending champions can be crowned champions again with a win on Sunday as they currently lead Liverpool who face Wolves on an intriguing final day game with just a point.

Guardiola has showered praises on his side's consistency in the title run-in and has informed them to be extra careful not to make any silly mistakes that could cost them the league in their last game against Brighton and Hove Albion.

"It’s a privilege. We are in this position because we won a lot of games, 13 in a row, we have to win one more in the Premier League and that is what we have to do,"

he said at his pre-match press conference.

"I see the team relaxed, training good, smiling a lot, completely focused on the pitch or in meetings.

"Anything can happen in the game and one mistake of our side or one incredible performance from the opponent, one mistake from the referee can decide the title.

"That’s why we have to be more precise in all the aspects we are working with these last three years and try to win the game."

Guardiola added, he is hoping to make a fast start against Brighton, who impressively held Arsenal to a draw last weekend and almost got a creditable point at Tottenham last month.

"It will be nice if we score first but we analyze Brighton and know how well they defend," Guardiola added. "Tottenham won in the last minute with a fantastic goal, Arsenal drew then they won 4-2 at Valencia.

"I know it is always difficult. Just focus on the game we have to play."
