After three games without a win, doubts have appeared in the almighty Manchester City, winner of the treble last year. The sky blue team succumbed to Emery's Aston Villa on the last day, but before that they had drawn against Liverpool and Tottenham. All this has caused them to drop to fourth position in the Premier League and remain six points behind Arsenal, the leader.
With his usual eloquence, Pep Guardiola said he is convinced that his team will win the Premier League again, but he is also aware that the blow has been hard and that it is normal for there to be some frustration. "I am convinced that we will win the Premier League again," he said at a press conference before facing Luton despite the fact that the defeat against Aston Villa was the most overwhelming in terms of statistics experienced by a Guardiola team.
“Maybe we will need a blow like that. It's terrible, we were unbeatable and now we can't win a single game," he said. But he also highlighted that it was a "challenge" for him as a coach to be able to reverse this situation. "Aston Villa were miles away from us. And the whole organization knows that because now we may not qualify for the Champions League," he confessed.
The calendar now smiles on Manchester City, who will first face Luton as a visitor, and then Crystal Palace and Brentford at the Etihad Stadium. To close the year they will play against Everton and Sheffield United. In the Champions League they will face Red Star.
