Pep Guardiola claims Manchester City's sole Premier League title shot lies in winning every match

Manchester Citys squad climbed to the summit of the Premier League standings via a nail biting 1-0 triumph against Burnley, a result that saw the Clarets drop down to the Championship.

A true battle for the championship is now in full swing as we approach the last five fixtures, with Arsenal relinquishing their lead at the top for the first time since September.

In his interview with Match of the Day following the match, Guardiola confessed that his players must deliver flawless performances to seize the silverware.

We delivered a strong performance, though we squandered numerous opportunities. Our defence improved in the latter period. During that second half, we faced fewer issues, he remarked.

Regarding the challenge of this fixture following the high stakes encounter with Arsenal: It proved an exhausting clash on Sunday. Recovery in just three days is tough, yet in the Premier League, adaptation is essential.

We have grown accustomed to such demands. We fought valiantly and produced solid play, but it is regrettable that we failed to convert those openings.

Upcoming is the FA Cup tie this Saturday, followed by our remaining five league outings. Our sole path to success is victory in every one.
