Asked if he believes City are flying under the radar in the Premier League title race, Guardiola sarcastically replied: ‘Well, in the first two games, three games, yeah for sure we [City] are out.
‘And Liverpool is already done, and now it looks like Liverpool is done. And I’ll tell you that they will be back.
‘I’ve said many times, I know all the pundits, all the specialists or former players, they know everything that is going to happen after five games, I’m not able to do that.
‘So, always I wait for 10, 15 games to know exactly what is going on. But I think obviously Liverpool and Arsenal are there, someone else will be there, hopefully we can be there.’
