• ‘It’s the best we can do,’ says City manager
• City pip Liverpool on goal difference: next up Chelsea
Pep Guardiola said Manchester City’s return to the top of the Premier League was reward for their refusal to concede the title to Liverpool but warned his team face “a final” against Chelsea on Sunday.
City returned to the summit for the first time since mid-December with a 2-0 victory at Everton courtesy of goals from Aymeric Laporte and the substitute Gabriel Jesus. They lead Liverpool on goal difference and have played one game more. But having faced the possibility of losing touch when they met on 3 January, Guardiola insisted the recovery demonstrated the indefatigable spirit of his champions.
