Man City manager Pep Guardiola:

"We cannot think about the results we've had in the past and to think about the big targets [winning the Premier League title] would be a big mistake.

"We must try to beat a team that is close to us, to take advantage of him and to be close to the top four... we will try to win games because that's what you have to try to do.

"I would say we are not far for the team in second position, but it is always the way you play, how consistent you are in the boxes that gives you the positive thoughts of what's going to happen in the future.

"Liverpool have been magnificent and you cannot fight against that situation.

"We have to have moments that are more productive and after that, it's step by step to go forward."
