this season is going to be like the race the tight race is going to be a lot a lot tighter and pep guardiola you know he's well aware of that he's aware of the challenges and he's also aware of liverpool as a threat and you know we have a video of him talking about why don't you take a look. so as we noted the best team in england the least three so liverpool so. yeah we can beat them so i know today nobody tries us nobody make one point for us i know that but it would it is over the top for i said my previous conference they are in for me the best team in europe and the way to play in eclipse is to see media control all the details in their game so what is it we chose for us alina we heard property all of their talk about the fact that his side beat liverpool five mil last season a but that's not all there is to it as a no no i mean look that was then and this is now has been made a major major changes because since that five nil when city have failed to be poor in the past four meetings in fact liverpool have won three of them and look it's no secret that peps toughest opponent is club i m

and so now we're going to hear from coach pep guardiola manchester city to see what he thought about the result i think it was it would just been chuckle and both teams played to it to win. nothing so it was not the final it was a final four has because losing to date was only zero. and we need today we are already there so we know the premier league is everybody tie again so we'll see the top in the future to relax rest because in three days we have another big test in the effect up. talking about a big test ill to come sunday what does this mean for the premier league title race things are just incredibly tight up top so liverpool are still in first but they only have a four point cushion ahead of manchester city so this match really puts a lot of pressure on them and tottenham really aren't too far behind the top two and then chelsea you are only ten points out in fourth place so you feel that it's really tight and the liverpool will be a bit disappointed to have this mounting pressure on them it's exciting for the neutrals and it's really been impressive what liverpool have accom

pep guardiola has dismissed a claim he told manchester city ground staff to grow the grass longer for—1 at the etihad to end jurgen klopp‘s side's unbeaten start to the season. a liverpool fans podcast suggested that city had grown the grass to hinder liverpool's counterattacking. but guardiola today denied that idea and insisted.. he's not a groundskeeper. the thing is as a manager, the better condition is for both teams. normally when this kind of happens at the end, i know it is to punish you. we have to do the best and we have to respect our game. i have a lot of issues to think about, and we put the better conditions for both teams. put the better conditions for both teams. stoke city have sacked manager gary rowett, only eight months after he took charge. they're mid—table in the championship and the final straw seems to have been the draw with league one side shrewsbury in the fa cup at the weekend. all members of his coaching staff have also left. stoke hope to make an appointment "as swiftly as possible" but it won't be former fulham boss slavisa jokanovic — he's turned down

a great evening though for pep guardiola and his side, they were sensational, in their biggest win inspondent david ornstein watched the goals rain in. the kind of away trip lowly clubs tend to dream and get test dream about, but for burton albion, that dream became reality. the biggest game in their history, and i did regardless of the result. he won this competition for times, though beating pat guardiola to get a shot at emulating him what always be unlikely, and he soon set city on their way. separated by 51 places in their way. separated by 51 places in the football league, but quality was clear and underlined as gabriel jesus scored twice in four minutes. club's expressions at all, however worse was to follow for his side, even when city didn't mean to shoot, they found the net. he turned this into a basketball score. jesus completed his hat trick before calling on his team—mates to get in on the act, and they obliged, a second—half onslaught resulting in four more goals. the home fans chanted for ten, but happily settled for nine. although burton's dream had turned into somethi

we focus on the managers as much as players these days and forjurgen klopp and pep guardiola, big gamesbitions. as for klopp, it's been 29 years since liverpool won the premier league. there's also added pressure on him to win something this season after losing in the finals in the league cup, europa league and champions league. both are well aware of what's at stake — and what each other is capable of. klopp has described city has the best team in the world — but who is under more pressure — well, pep guardiola thinks it's liverpool. it is different pressure. we have to handle it. what the players and people expect, all the time we will be at the top. we are manchester city, we're not liverpool, manchester united, we manchester city. in that situation, it is usual for that club, all that history. to achieve what we have achieved in the last decade, it is nice to still be there. full commentary of manchester city v liverpool on radio 5 live tonight — their coverage starts at 6:30. you can also follow the match via the bbc sport website and app. craig bellamy has temporarily stepped down

i think pep guardiola has been at the forefront of coaching for some time.illiance his teams managed to consistently put onto the pitch with the results to boot. they play a very specific, very complex, difficult style. very few players have the technique to play at those levels. collectively it works and it brings results. klopp's methods are different, he is a bit more direct and relies on workrate, relies on individual moments, kind of explosive danger rather than the metronomic, consistent beauty and brilliance that guardiola seems to have. but they are no less exciting and no less thrilling and maybe no less successful this season for it. klopp is more emotional, has more of a bond with his players. guardiola teaches rather than bonds with the players. but both are at the very forefront of their profession and it is no coincidence that yet again they are making the running as far as the premier league is concerned. are you surprised we are seeing this title race on our hands by we have got? a lot of people predicting manchester city would walk it once a

how likely are we going to see pep guardiola you'd use some of them this evening?gth in depth of the manchester city squad, it is really quite hard for them to put out a wea ker quite hard for them to put out a weaker side. they have superstars out that squad. i think what other side they put out, they will make changes from that 7—0 thrashing. realistically, that focus is on other places, understandably they are still in the fight for the premier league, for the champions league and for the fa cup. pep guardiola said it is nice to have, it's nice to get to wembley, he is a winner but i don't think he's going to lose too much sleep over what happens in the first leg. wembley is going to be tottenham's temporary home for at least another 6 weeks. they have confirmed that their new 62,000 seater stadium, which is on the site of the old white hart lane, won't be ready to move into until at least march. the club say that building tests need to be carried out and trial events need to be organised. their next 4 home matches, including their champions league game against

despite the scoreline, it wasn't the most outstanding performance we have seen from pep guardiola's sideinutes, before raheem sterling and leroy sane both struck in the space of two minutes early in the second half. it is a fourth straight win in the league for city, and moves them to within four points of liverpool. we have done so far incredibly in the champions league, and a copa del rey, we have yet to do a final in the cup, and we have incredible points. 50... 57, 56, so there are lots of points. so what we have done so lots of points. so what we have done so far, but the game teaches us and shows us what we have to do to improve. harry winks scored in the final minute of injury time to give tottenham a 2—1win at fulham. the hosts had led after a fernando llorente own—goal, but dele alli equalised before winks's winner. it means spurs are five points behind city, in third. it was a frustrating night, to be fair. there was a lot of moments where we had close calls, or they defended really well. and, you know, it seemed like it would be a difficult night, but the belief we have in the

ahead of the match, jurgen klopp has called city the ‘best team in the world' while pep guardiola saystion for the club. it is different pressure, we have to live it. we have to handle it. so the players and i expect, the people expect that all the time we will be at the top so we are manchester city, we are not livable or manchester united. we are man city. —— livable or man united. in that situation, usually in that club with the history, it is nice but we have achieved in the last decade, to still be there. so what kind of game can we expect ? here is former liverpool defender stephen warnock. i think the game will be cagey but i think errors will happen because of what is at stake. you're talking about the best players in the world on the pitch at such a high level, but something has to break at some point. there has got to be, manchester city have to, and try when the game so it will leave gaps for liverpool to exploit. but we know manchester city are more than capable of causing an upset, i say and upset but causing an upset towards the liverpool defence and cause livable's defen
