'We cannot compete' - Guardiola worried by Liverpool standards

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola admits Liverpool's form at present makes them untouchable in the Premier League title race.

The Reds are now nine points clear at the summit - and 10 ahead of City ahead of their game Sunday at Southampton - after thrashing Arsenal 5-1 at Anfield on Saturday.

Jurgen Klopp's men are now unbeaten in their first 20 matches of the campaign, and have scored 48 goals and conceded just eight so far this term.

Though Guardiola has spent in the region of £539 million ($685m) on players since arriving at the Etihad Stadium, the ex-Barcelona boss says his City side are currently unable to compete with the Merseysiders.
