Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, expressed uncertainty about his team’s performance in their upcoming match against Liverpool.
After a 4-0 defeat to Tottenham on Saturday, the Premier League champions now trail Liverpool by five points.
If Liverpool secure a victory against Southampton on Sunday, they could extend their lead to eight points before facing Manchester City next weekend.
Guardiola, speaking after the Spurs defeat, said: “We have to come back and freshen our minds. The season is so long. Many things can happen.
“Before the game I didn’t know what will happen today. So I don’t know what will happen at Anfield. Everyone knows the situation is new for us.
“We struggled more without the ball. I don’t know how many chances we created. Our game was there.”
