Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola deliberates the difficulty of playing Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool after his 3-1 defeat at Anfield in the Premier League. Sports enthusiasts from around the world can purchase Premier League Tickets online to enjoy its stunning performances.

Pep Guardiola has clarified why facing Liverpool is as difficult as he described Manchester City's defeat as one of the proud performances of his managerial career.

The champions were beaten 3-1 at Anfield on Sunday to fall nine points behind the Premier League pacesetters.

Liverpool has now misplaced only one of their last 51 top flight competitions and has taken 34 points from 36 so far this term. Only Tottenham in 1960/61 has better points per game ratio at this stage of a top-flight movement.

And asked why Liverpool is such a force Guardiola said: “They are strong in set-pieces when you sit back and defend in the box they open up with Robertson and Alexander with crosses arrive with Wijnaldum the second balls it is almost impossible to live with the second balls.”

When you get back when you attack every mistake you can do the biggest quality from Jurgen in his entire career is with the transition.

You decide before you play. You wait for crosses, crosses counter-attack. You try to create chances like we did today we won two titles in a row seven titles and some people say we like to watch Man City play football'.

Of Liverpool's lead, Guardiola added nine points is a lot they lost just one game last season 12 games 11 victories and one draw but nine points are not easy and yet it is November.

Is it their year? My colleague Jurgen can explain better than me.

Despite the defeat which means Manchester City still has not won at Anfield since 2003 Guardiola was impressed by his team's performance.

“I think we showed in the most difficult stadium in the world right now the reason why we are champions,” he said.

One of the proudest performances I ever leave within my career in this stadium, nothing to say unfortunately, we lost.

Congratulations to Jurgen and his fantastic team 3-1 it was a good game for the Premier League for the millions around the world it was a good advertisement.

Maybe you have bought me and Jurgen a bottle of wine for that!

We have three teams in front of us maybe they have more chances to win the Premier League than us but hopefully, we can sustain this mentality and try it. In the end, if it is not enough we will congratulate Liverpool Leicester or Chelsea and move forward for the next season.
