City boss says it’s good to be top for a day, as Arsenal and Liverpool could overtake them
-
Manchester City are back at the top of the English Premier League, at least for a day, after they defeated Luton Town 5-1 at the Etihad Stadium on April 13.
The result meant that Pep Guardiola's men now have 73 points with six games to play as they aim to retain their title, ahead of Arsenal and Liverpool who are both on 71 points.
Things can change very quickly, however. The Gunners host Aston Villa on April 14, but not before Liverpool welcome Crystal Palace to Anfield, and City can find themselves back in third again by the end of the week.
"For a few hours," Guardiola said when asked how he feels about his team being top.
"Tomorrow they have to play, all we can do is win our games and if we cannot do it we congratulate them.
"All you have to do is win games and we will try game by game. It is a privilege to be here after many years to compete for the competitions." Regardless of what happens in the Arsenal and Liverpool fixtures, Guardiola knew his side must win their game first.
