YOU ALL WANT US TO LOSE

City close in on title but Pep complains everyone wants Liverpool to win it

- JACK GAUGHAN at the Etihad Stadium

PEP GUARDIOLA claimed the entire country wants Liverpool to win the Premier League title.

Manchester City went three points clear of Jurgen Klopp’s side by hammering Newcastle United 5-0 at the Etihad Stadium yesterday.

The defending champions will claim a fourth title in five years if they win their remaining three matches — starting at Wolves on Wednesday — and Guardiola believes that will upset the nation.

‘Everyone in this country supports Liverpool, the media and everyone,’ Guardiola said. ‘Because Liverpool have an incredible history in European competitio­ns. Not in Premier Leagues, because they have won one in 30 years.

‘But I don’t care. People want Liverpool to win more than us. They have more supporters around the world and in England

more support Liverpool than us.’
