"After the Newcastle game everybody was convinced, myself too, that Liverpool were going to beat Leicester and it would be seven points and it would be almost over," Guardiola said. "Now we're on two points and that's why we don't have to look too much at the table... I cannot deny we would prefer West Ham to beat Liverpool, but Liverpool would have preferred Arsenal to beat us."
City take on ninth-placed Everton on Wednesday and Guardiola is well aware of the need to build momentum, with third-placed Tottenham Hotspur two points behind them and breathing down their necks. "Another big week, now we rest and prepare for Goodison... we have to win," Guardiola added.
"Tottenham have showed incredible mentality, they fight and fight. A lot can happen." (Reporting by Shrivathsa Sridhar in Bengaluru; Editing by Greg Stutchbury)
