Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero admits it will be “too hard” for his side to catch up with Premier League leaders Liverpool.
After the reigning champions slipped up on Friday with a 3-2 loss to Wolves, Liverpool stretched their winning streak in the English top-flight to 10 matches on Sunday when they beat the same team 1-0 at Anfield thanks to a first-half goal from Sadio Mane.
City got back to winning ways on Sunday evening with a 2-0 victory over Sheffield United through goals from Aguero and Kevin De Bruyne, but they remain 14 points behind last season's runners-up, who have a game in hand due to their involvement in the Club World Cup earlier this month.
