Pep Guardiola admitted sustained success is not possible in football and that "sometimes it's good to lose" matches as he showed his support for Liverpool counterpart Jurgen Klopp. Liverpool's faltering Premier League title defence sees them currently down in sixth, 13 points behind leaders Manchester City, who have a game in hand. City finished 18 points behind Liverpool last season, but Guardiola said learning from their mistakes is not the secret to their current unbeaten run. Now it looks like we are the only contenders to win the Premier League. Gundogan, the Premier League Player of the Month for January, scored twice before limping off in Saturday's 3-0 win over Tottenham on Saturday.
