'Maybe another team deserves to win the title'

Pep Guardiola spoke to BBC Match of the Day after Manchester City's defeat against Brighton: "We are not able to do 90 minutes right now. We played a really good first half and moments in the second half. We lost again so clean our heads, international break and hopefully our players come back fit.

On whether form is a worry: "We have to try and win games again. We were not able to sustain the rhythm in the second half. Four [defeats] in a row. We have to change things quick.

"The schedule becomes tough but it is going to happen when the players come back. Maybe after seven years winning six Premier Leagues, maybe one year another team deserve it. We see what happens in Liverpool against Aston Villa, we'll see.

On Jahmai Simpson-Pusey: "He played really, really good today, really really good. It's not easy to play in these circumstances. He was really, really good."
