Title Race: Guardiola Happy With City Form

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said he is is more pleased with the form his team is showing at a crucial point of the season.

Champions City climbed to the summit – for at least 24 hours – with a 5-1 thrashing of relegation-threatened Luton Town on Saturday, but they lead Arsenal and Liverpool by only two points and both rivals have a game in hand.

"I don't think so," Guardiola said when asked if there was a psychological boost to being top.

"Arsenal and Liverpool, they want to be there," he added. "We play the way we did against Crystal Palace (a 4-2 victory), against Madrid (a 3-3 draw in the first leg of their Champions League quarterfinal) and play really good especially in the second half, today five more (goals)."
