Pep Guardiola fears his Manchester City side may have to forget about catching Liverpool as his forward crisis continues.
Raheem Sterling scored to sink Southampton. But with Sergio Agüero a disabled substitute and Gabriel Jesús unavailable due to a “toothy condition,” Guardiola fielded a team without a recognized striker.
When asked if his men could hit Jurgen Klopp’s Reds, he said: “Right now I don’t know.
