Pep Guardiola predicts when Liverpool's title race with Manchester City will be decided

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has made his prediction for when the title race with Liverpool will be decided.

And the City boss is predicting it to go down to the wire.

Champions City currently trail leaders Liverpool by three points but could return to the top - on goal difference, albeit having played a game more - with victory at Everton on Wednesday.

City's goal difference stands at plus 46, five better than Liverpool's, having scored 66 goals prior to the game at Goodison Park.

And Guardiola said: "The first message is to win the game and the second one is; if you can score, score and if you can avoid conceding, do it because maybe you could win the Premier League on goal difference.

"While we are not going to say to the guys today we have to win 25-zero - I never say that - first you have to win the game and then second try, because it can happen.

"I'm pretty sure the winner will be the last fixture or the last two. I'm sure of that."
