Pep Guardiola has expressed quiet confidence in Manchester City’s ability to stay in the Premier League title race, while admitting there is still work to be done if his side are to reach their usual standards. The City boss remains realistic, balancing belief with a clear demand for improvement from his players.
City briefly climbed to the top of the Premier League table after a commanding 3-0 victory over West Ham, a result that underlined their attacking strength and defensive control. However, that position may only be temporary, with Arsenal set to face Everton later this evening and capable of reclaiming top spot depending on the outcome.
According to Fabrizio Romano via official X handle, Guardiola was asked about City’s chances to win the league after the game. Romano posted:
Pep Guardiola when asked if Man City have chances to win the title: Yeah, we will be there. If they follow me, we will be there. But we have to improve. The spirit is there… but the next step, hopefully Rodri is back, we have to do better!.
His comments highlight both confidence in his squad and the importance of key players returning to full fitness. Softfootball insights reveal that Guardiola also addressed his own situation at the club before the game, stating that the decision on whether he stays or leaves will ultimately be down to Manchester City. The remarks added another layer of intrigue, even as the focus remains firmly on the pitch.
With momentum building and the title race shaping up to be another tight battle, City will be looking to maintain consistency, sharpen their performances and push forward, knowing that fine margins could once again define their season.
