Manchester City have to aim for at least 90 points if they want to retain their Premier League title, according to Pep Guardiola. Guardiola expects that the Blues will have to at least keep up their current pace across the remaining 23 matches if not step it up if they are to emerge victorious again.
Pep Guardiola said: “The champions will have to win a lot of games for sure. 90 [points] or over. Last year had Covid and was without people, it was a tough year for all the clubs. Sometimes there were consequences to drop some points and we won the league quite comfortably at the end. With the runs we have done, we never thought at the start what we would do. We won the last games in the Premier League, what’s next is Wolves. They are close to the top of the league right now. It’s this one, then after that on Tuesday it is Leeds and don’t think about anything other than that. It is confusing to think about long runs because when you start to think about that you are going to drop points and games.”
