Manchester City have been dominant in the Premier League under Pep Guardiola, and have won six of the past seven Premier League titles, including four in a row.

City have however been shaky this season, and have now lost four successive matches for the first time in his 17-year managerial career.

This is Man City’s first four-game losing run in 18 years, since Stuart Pearce was manager, and rival clubs have been mocking them since the defeat to Brighton.

City had previously lost to Bournemouth in the league, Tottenham in the Carabao Cup, and Sporting in the Champions League.

Pep Guardiola has now mocked his rivals to also win for a change.

“We have to try and win games again,” Guardiola told BBC Match of the Day. “Four [defeats] in a row. We have to change things quick.

“The schedule becomes tough but it [winning games] is going to happen when the players come back.”

He sent a message to rivals: “Maybe after seven years winning six Premier Leagues, maybe one year another team deserve it.”

Chelsea have only won one league title since Pep Guardiola moved to the Premier League in 2016.
