Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has delivered his verdict on Liverpool following the Reds’ shock defeat in the Merseyside derby this week.

Jurgen Klopp‘s bid to win the Premier League title in his final season as the Liverpool manager was dealt a massive blow by Everton at Goodison Park.

The Reds missed a number of chances in front of goal and that cost them.



Goals from Jarrad Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin sealed a memorable win for Everton at home.

Manchester City were always the favourites to go all the way in this title race, and Liverpool’s defeat on Wednesday further increased their chances.

After his side’s emphatic win, Guardiola had his say on Liverpool’s defeat at Everton this week.

The Manchester City boss claimed that the title race is by no means over as any of the three teams could still suffer shock defeats in the coming weeks.

“Everton playing for their lives – like Forest.

Nobody is safe.”

Liverpool were the third favourites to win the Premier League title before their game against Everton, but their chances have reduced even more since.

Jurgen Klopp was not happy at all after the game and rightly so.

Liverpool looked nothing like their usual selves, and some players have really underperformed over the last few weeks.

The German claimed that only one thing can make that happen – a crisis at both Arsenal and Manchester City.

He said, as per talkSPORT: “I can’t say now that we are still fully in it; we need a crisis at Man City and Arsenal and need to win football games because if they start losing all their games and we do what we did tonight nothing changes.

“We are not safe in the Champions League as well so we should just play better football.”
