Pep Guardiola has dismissed Jose Mourinho’s claim that the title race is over.
Guardiola has shrugged off Mourinho’s insistence that Manchester United are fighting to finish second to Manchester City because of the Blues’ 15-point lead and insisted nothing has yet been decided.
“Not yet,” said the City boss. “There are 13 games to go and 39 points to play for.
“It’s not over. We have amazingly tough teams to play. Everybody here in England knows how complicated it is to play Burnley. We also have to got to Stoke City and Goodison Park.

“We have still Tottenham, Chelsea, Man United and Arsenal to play, so it’s definitely not over.”
Guardiola also revealed that Benjamin Mendy should return to training in March from his knee ligaments injury after adding him to their Champions League squad for the knock-out phase.
He said: “He’s much, much better. He’s in the States, in New York. I think it’s six months now, so maybe in March, he will start to train with us.”

Guardiola claimed he did not know yet know the extent of David Silva’s injury after he took a blow to his hip against West Brom on Wednesday night.
“Yesterday he couldn’t train,” he said. “He took a painful kick in the side. We are going to see tomorrow how it is.”
