Manchester City not guaranteed success with Pep Guardiola, says Merson

Instead, the City manager pointed to a crippling injury list, one that David Silva has now joined with an ankle problem, as his club’s main problem.

Mesut Ozil has warned it will be “incredibly difficult” for Arsenal to beat Leicester City when the two sides meet on Sunday. There’s no reason why we can’t play on Saturday because Chelsea will rest for four days, exactly the same as we want to rest before we play Dynamo.

Five points clear with 13 games left is a wonderful position to be in and there is no team playing better than Leicester City in the Premier League.

Manchester City will write to the Football Association to complain about the scheduling of their FA Cup fifth-round match at Chelsea.

“It was not fortune that we played the way we did and won so many games”.

“We continue to be involved in all the competitions and it is very important to recover from this”.

“We need to deal with it”, the Argentina defender told reporters.

Leicester played better than our team.

“The spirit, we are 11 on the pitch, we play every time (as) 11”.

‘I think it’s very good for the Premier League and probably next year another new team will be involved in the fight for the title, ‘ said the City manager.

“I will advise him to stay at Barcelona for at least a few more years, but if he wants City and they want him, we know they have the power to make it happen”.

He said: “No doubt it will be tough (against Arsenal), we know the players they’ve got are world class but although we lost 5-2 when we played them last time we did show that we can hurt them”. The Spanish publication points out that the goalkeeper was a crucial asset for the Spanish manager during his successful spell at Barcelona and could now take advantage of his contract situation at Old Trafford to reunite with him at the Etihad Stadium as a free agent.

Manchester United midfielder Ander Herrera has warned Pep Guardiola to expect significant pressure to succeed when he takes over at Manchester City.

“After three-and-a-half unbelievable seasons, working with awesome people, I am now starting a new chapter”, he wrote. I think they will be involved in the title race until the end.
