Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says Manchester United could yet get into the title race.

Liverpool are top of the Premier League after 16 games, with Guardiola's Manchester City one point behind in second.

"It's quite similar [to title race with Real Madrid]," said Guardiola ahead of Saturday's match against Everton.

"I had that feeling. We just try to win every game to be there and when you are in front to try and keep the momentum.

"The opponents are good, not just Liverpool. I think Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham and even Manchester United could make a good run and join us.

"We knew it from the beginning, the level has increased. The feeling we have, everybody has that feeling. It's not just Manchester City that will have the feeling of [worrying] about dropping points, that's why everybody is giving extra."
