Pep Guardiola’s Prediction about the winner of the 2018/19 Premier League

DBasia.news –  Competition in the fight for the 2018/19 Premier League title is increasingly exciting. As a result of two consecutive draws, including in the latest match against West Ham United, Liverpool are now only three points away from their closest competitor, Manchester City.

Moreover, City have the opportunity to become the top standings if they can beat Everton on Thursday (7/2) early morning Western Indonesian Time. If City wins, the points of the two clubs will be the same, 62 points, but The Citizens are ahead in terms of goal difference.

Man City manager Pep Guardiola also admitted that goal difference could be the key to winning the trophy this season.

“The most important thing is to win and secondly, if you can score a lot of goals, then it’s better and if you can avoid conceding, because maybe you can win the Premier League on goal difference. I’m also not telling players that we have to win 25- 0, I never said that. The important thing is to win and then try to score,” said Pep quoted by Sky Sports.

“I am very confident that the champion will be decided in the last game or the last two games. I am sure of that.”

Becoming a champion because of the goal difference is nothing new for Man City. They’ve done it in the 2011/12 season. At that time the Citizens trained by Roberto Mancini were entitled to the trophy because of their higher goal difference compared to rivals Manchester United, although both of them collected 89 points.
