Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says Liverpool have an advantage in the title race.

Last season's champions were five points behind Liverpool going into this weekend before a City win over Arsenal reduced the deficit to two points. The Reds take on West Ham on Monday night.

"I prefer to be in the position of Liverpool. The pressure is when you are behind and you lose points, it's tougher," said the Spaniard.

"The important thing is to be ourselves. At Newcastle we didn't recognise our team. The players knew that.

"Today we came back."
