What Pep Guardiola said to Liverpool

Liverpool go into the international break in third level on points with Tottenham as Leicester top the table one point ahead.

City boss Guardiola also used the Alexander-Arnold injury as a way of making a point.

He said: “Trent Alexander-Arnold, international English player, now injured.

“Here we believe we are more special, we don’t protect the players, so that is why it is a disaster.

“This calendar came from a year before and I will demand for players to come back otherwise it will be difficult to maintain it.”
