Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola doesn’t believe his side need to win this weekend at Anfield against Liverpool to keep their Premier League title hopes alive.
City are currently six points behind Liverpool, who have only dropped two points in 11 games this season.
The Reds are looking to win their first ever Premier League title and find themselves in a great position to do so, following their failure last season.
City beat Jurgen Klopp’s side to title glory last term by just a solitary point.

“Nobody can assure me that if we don’t do what we have to do at Atalanta, then we’re going to make a better performance against Liverpool.
“The best way to face Atalanta is the way we played today, and the best way to go to Anfield is to play a good game against Atalanta, who have been fighting with the top clubs in Italy for the last two or three seasons.
“They can score four, five, six goals every game, so we’re going to play with what we believe is the best team and try to qualify for the next stage of the Champions League.”
