Man City told they should be worried about finishing in the top four - let alone retaining Premier League title - as Jamie Carragher takes aim after damaging defeat at Liverpool

Champions League

Paris Saint-Germain

Manchester City

<p>Pep Guardiola has overseen a historic run of <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-boss-pep-guardiola-liverpool-fans-sacked-in-the-morning-chant/blt53732c178e24b8be" target="_blank">four-successive title triumphs, and six in the last seven campaigns</a>, but is currently enduring the worst run of his distinguished managerial career – with City suffering six defeats across a seven-game winless stretch.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The reigning champions of England are now <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/title-race-isnt-over-man-city-hopes-are-winners-losers-pep-guardiola-fails-find-answers-mohamed-salah-liverpool-premier-league-lead/bltbc5c8af3a4c8544e" target="_blank">11 points off the pace in the 2024-25 title race</a> and Carragher believes there is no way back for them from here. The former Liverpool defender told <a href="https://x.com/SkySportsPL/status/1863281377434570825 " target="_blank"><em>Sky Sports</em></a> after seeing City suffer a 2-0 defeat at Anfield in their latest outing: “This season, Manchester City will not be winning the Premier League. I don’t think there is any way back.</p><p>“It is almost a mini-crisis for Manchester City, and I think it’s reminiscent of Liverpool two years ago. I actually think Man City might have a fight on the hands for the top four. I actually look at Arsenal and Chelsea and the way they’re looking right now… I think it may be difficult for Man City to finish above them if they don’t go into the market in January.”</p>

WHAT CARRAGHER SAID

<p>City will likely have money to spend in the next transfer window, with Carragher adding on the need for reinforcements to be welcomed through the doors at Etihad Stadium: “He [Guardiola] needs to buy players. If he can do that in January who knows, but he may need to wait until the end of the season to fix it. I look at the energy Arsenal have got and the energy the young players at Chelsea have got and I think it might be difficult for City to finish above them.”</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>While City contend with uncharacteristic struggles on the field, they are <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-city-catastrophic-ban-all-competitions-guilty-ffp-breaches-english-football-thrown-into-chaos/blt3bd75759a2b6683a" target="_blank">still fighting an 115-charge Financial Fair Play (FFP) case</a> off it that may yet deliver more misery to the blue half of Manchester – with there suggestions that they could be stung with points penalties, a transfer embargo or even <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/out-league-season-or-two-man-city-brave-call-premier-league-expulsion-punishment-115-charge-ffp-case/blt8bb0e276e999bac1" target="_blank">demotion out of the Premier League</a>.</p>
