Jurgen Klopp’s team is defending the Premier League champions for a reason and they proved it today.

Even without Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Thiago and Diogo Jota, four players who probably would have started this afternoon, Liverpool continued to beat Crystal Palace 7-0 at Selhurst Park.

City recorded a good 1-0 win at Southampton later in the day to move eight points behind the Reds in the table, who have played one more game, and Guardiola has insisted his players should try to forget Liverpool. and focus on your own shape.

He told Sky Sports: “We are too far away, look at the table. There’s no question how good Liverpool is, but I tell the guys to forget about it. They have all the momentum scoring these goals at Palace. “

This will make many Liverpool fans smile.

That Guardiola admits his troops are ‘too far’ early in the season bodes well for Klopp’s team when it comes to defending their title.
