LONDON, Feb 16 — Manchester City moved ominously to the top of the Premier League yesterday and while Arsenal can snatch back top spot, for a few hours at least on Saturday, the momentum has shifted firmly in favour of the reigning champions.
“Now we are top of the league but they have one game in hand, it’s a long road,” Guardiola, who is chasing a fifth title in six seasons at City, said after the win at Arsenal. City beat Nottingham Forest 6-0 earlier in the season and while Steve Cooper has turned around Forest’s fortunes, it would be a huge surprise if they avoid defeat at the City Ground.
They host ninth-placed Liverpool on Saturday needing a victory to avoid being reeled in by the clubs below them, including unlikely top-four contenders Brighton and Hove Albion and Fulham. Sixth-placed Brighton are only six points behind Newcastle with a game in hand and host seventh placed Fulham, who have the same points tally from two more games, on Saturday.
