Pep Guardiola has warned his Manchester City team that they could still blow the Premier League title.

The Blues boss takes his shell-shocked team to Wembley to face Spurs on Saturday night still needing six points to be certain of being champions.

And he says that he fully expects nearest rivals Manchester United – who are at home to West Brom on Sunday – to reap maximum points from their remaining six games.

After City lost to the Reds last Saturday, and were also knocked out of the Champions League by two defeats against Liverpool, a defeat at Spurs would bring City's longest losing streak since Stuart Pearce was in charge in 2006.

More importantly, it would leave the Blues still seeking the points needed to clinch the crown after it seemed like they would cruise to glory in record time.

Guardiola is under no illusions that the title race is not over.

He said: “My feeling is that United will win a lot of points, they are in good shape and have top players and are able to win all six games so we have to do it, like we did all season. We have to do it from tomorrow.”

And asked if he felt it was possible that they could still lose the crown if they don't win at Spurs, Guardiola replied: “It can happen, football is emotional and it can happen.

“We have to focus and try to win our game at Tottenham and then Swansea, we know that.

“We were so close against United at home, but since November and December they said we were already champions.

“The pundits said it was already done, that it was impossible because we didn't lose for three or four months, for us to drop points.

“But in one week we lost three games. The players know it's not done – if they did think that they would not play the way they play.

“It depends on the United results and in our hands, and we are able to win two games. We have handled the pressure all the season, not just in that period.

“It will be good for our future to handle the pressure and we are going to do it.

“If in the end we are not able, and United win the league, we have to say congratulations, United, and reflect on what we have done badly in the last month.

“It can happen, I assure you. Real Madrid lost six games in a row and didn't win the league. It can happen.

“The players know that - it's not necessary to say it. In football and sports it can happen.

“We are going to play in the same way as we did against United and Liverpool and we'll see.”
