Guardiola Picks Premier League Favorite and It's Not Manchester City
Manchester City is the current champion of the English tournament, but for the Spanish coach, his team is not the top favorite for the title.
After the draw between Manchester City and Arsenal, the Premier League is alive and kicking. Currently, Liverpool leads the tournament, followed by the Gunners in second place, and City in third.
And that order, for Pep Guardiola, influences who the favorite is to win the Premier League this season. 'Liverpool is the favorite,' said the coach after the draw.
"Whoever is in first place is always the favorite," Guardiola assured. City, then, is currently the third favorite to win the title, despite being the reigning champion and the clear dominator in recent years.
City has won the Premier League in the last three consecutive years and has lifted the trophy five times in the last six seasons. Despite this, Guardiola is clear: "It's not in our hands."
