    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    City have been in rancid form in recent weeks and have won just one of their last five games. They currently sit sixth in the Premier League table and have conceded 26 goals in 19 games; no other team in the top six has shipped as many. They are also 14 points behind leaders Liverpool, leading Guardiola to concede that they cannot win the Premier League title.
