Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has admitted that his team would lose at some stage during this Premier League campaign.
City are currently five points clear at the top of the table, following Saturday’s 3-0 victory over Burnley at the Etihad Stadium.
Guardiola’s men have now won eight fixtures and drawn only once from nine games.
There have been suggestions that they could match the 2003/2004 side, that were dubbed ‘The Invincibles’ after winning the title without losing a single match, but Guardiola was quick to downplay such talk.
“The only game I think about is the next one and the next one is against Wolves,” he said of Tuesday’s EFL Cup fourth-round tie.
“I am happy with the 11 wins in a row because we show we can win a lot of games in a row. That’s all.
“To win like this [the Arsenal record] is nonsense, ridiculous, because football today is so demanding and we know exactly that when we don’t play good we are going to lose games.
“Tuesday is another game where we have to try to be so serious and play as good as possible to deserve the respect of our opponents. That is all I want and then afterwards we will see.”
