Manchester City midfielder Bernardo Silva has expressed surprise at Liverpool and Arsenal dropping points over the weekend.

Pep Guardiola’s side surged past Luton Town to reclaim the top spot in the Premier League title race, while Crystal Palace stunned the Reds and Aston Villa overpowered the Gunners.

As a result, the reigning champions now lead the table by two points, with Arsenal and Liverpool separated by an eight-goal difference.

With just six games remaining for Manchester City, Liverpool, and Arsenal in the title race, the competition remains wide open.

Additionally, with Jurgen Klopp’s impending departure from Anfield at the end of the season, the German will be eager to secure his second Premier League medal as a fitting farewell.

Speaking to reporters before Manchester City’s crucial clash against Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final second leg, Silva acknowledged it was a “very good weekend” for the club.

“It was obviously a very good weekend for us; I’m not going to deny that because personally, I wasn’t expecting both teams to drop points,” said the 29-year-old.

“Before, we didn’t depend only on ourselves, so we had to do our job and wait for them to drop points.

“Now the situation has changed a bit because we just depend on ourselves because if we do our job properly, we win the Premier League so happy with the results and not going to deny that.

But there is a long way to go.”

Silva added: “Two weeks ago, when we played Arsenal, everything looked like it was gone and now it looks like Man City is going to win the Premier League.

In two weeks, maybe it will change again.

“That’s why football is beautiful because things changes so quick and you need to be really focused game by game.

It’s not right to start thinking about trebles because it’s not realistic.

“We have to be game by game, Madrid tomorrow, then on the weekend we have another tough game against Chelsea in the FA Cup, then we have Premier League

In oneweek,k we could lose all three competitions.

“We have to be focused game by game, do our job well, and to extend this hope for one more week and eventually hopefully we will do it again.”
