LONDON – Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City side are in an unusual position, having two games in hand on their English Premier League title rivals before they travel to Brighton & Hove Albion on April 25.

The holders – who are on 73 points after 32 games – find themselves trailing four points behind Arsenal who defeated Chelsea 5-0 on April 23, and one point behind Liverpool before the Reds took on Everton on April 24 in a match that kicked off after press time.
