Pep Guardiola can not imagine a repeat of the dramatic triumph of Manchester City a decade ago – although he is only one point ahead of Liverpool. City beat Manchester United in the crown of the Premier League in 2012 in the goal difference, which was secured by Sergio Aguero with delays on the last day. But Guardiola believes that this season’s battle will be judged by points, as Liverpool would need to equalize and City to lose in order to determine the destination of the trophy with the best margins. Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola can not imagine his team winning the title difference “I do not think that will happen. “It could, but I do not think so,” said Guardiola. “The difference is a point. If we draw and win, [Liverpool are ahead]. “Of course, if we can score as many goals as possible, I encourage Newcastle to score as many goals as possible!” Liverpool face Newcastle first today at lunchtime at St James’ Park before City’s evening trip to Leeds United. Guardiola insisted that Jürgen Klopp’s decision to extend his contract at Anfield until 2026 would not affect his future. The winner of Sergio Aguero on the last day secured the title of City in 2012 As Sportsmail reported last month, there is a sense in City that Guardiola could be committed after 2023. The expected acquisition of Erling Haland, which City believes he will secure, significantly strengthens his team in view of next season and is looking for a central midfielder. “I could not have imagined that I was in a better place,” said Guardiola. “We have an incredible relationship with the directors. [But] honestly, i’m so busy with the last few weeks of the season. “I enjoy this part of the season. “What I want is to be fresh in our minds, in our souls and in our feet.” Jürgen Klopp signed a new contract this week extending his stay at Anfield until 2026 Guardiola also claimed that a useless program is equivalent to the course if the teams want to lift any trophy since Klopp had asked the league to advance Saturday’s game amid a close reversal from midweek. “How many times have we talked about what happened to us?” said Guardiola. “It’s not going to change because broadcasters are thinking about what they need to do to get more viewers. “If I am not satisfied, I will go home and I will not be the coach of Man City. I go to another league in the Maldives, the Maldives League, and I play one game a week and I feel so comfortable under the coconuts. It would be so perfect. But it’s not like that. “You play at 12.30, I’m sorry Liverpool but I’m not dealing with that.”
