Pep Guardiola says Aston Villa are contenders for the Premier League title after they moved above Man City into third with Wednesday’s 1-0 win; City are winless in four games and six points behind leaders Arsenal; Liverpool are two points off the top after beating Sheffield United 2-0
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says it would be the “biggest joke in the history of football” to write off Manchester City in the title race. City were overpowered at Aston Villa on Wednesday as Unai Emery’s side beat them 1-0 to move above the champions into third. City are now winless in four league games and six points off leaders Arsenal.
Klopp, whose side closed the gap on Arsenal to two points with a win at Sheffield United, feels it “makes no sense” to rush to a judgement on City at this stage in the season.
