Pep Guardiola insists Liverpool cannot be written off in the Premier League title race after his Manchester City side went into second in the table.

Liverpool has it all to do to end the season as champions, with Arsenal three points ahead at the top with four games to go.

Mikel Arteta's side also boasts a far superior goal difference.

But with Arsenal facing a north London derby against Tottenham this weekend, and his City side travelling to Nottingham Forest, Guardiola believes it would be foolish to count Liverpool out.

Speaking after the win over Brighton, he told Sky Sports: "What happened to Liverpool, I said to the players, can happen to us.

Maybe because it has been a real contender of ours for years, my appreciation of Liverpool is higher than ever.

“You see the game at Old Trafford [against Manchester United], the chances that Liverpool miss and at Everton, Pickford was exceptional.

The Reds know 12 points from the last four games is a necessity to stand any chance of winning the title.

Liverpool.com says: It has been a difficult week for Liverpool but Guardiola is right, these results can happen at this stage of the season.

All Liverpool can do is pick up three points at West Ham to keep the pressure on.
