What the managers are saying

Pep Guardiola (Manchester City): “Sometimes it is easier to win a title when you have not won it for a long time. It is more complicated to win it back-to-back after last season.“This is one of the best groups of players I have trained in my life, one of the best groups of human beings I have lived with, for the fact that after getting 100 points, they want to try to win again and again.“They did not just win the Carabao Cup, but reached the final of the FA Cup. For one situation we are out of the Champions League but it has been incredible. That means a lot this season more than last season.Hornets boss Javi Gracia has outlasted many bosses at Vicarage Road3

Javi Gracia (Watford): “I think they’re the best team in the Premier League but not in the world because their results speak about that. They won the Premier League and they deserve that recognition. The best in the world? We’ll see.”
