Aston Villa boss Unai Emery is adamant Pep Guardiola remains “the best” coach in the Premier League as his side seek to add to Manchester City’s woes.
City have lost eight of their last 11 games in all competitions, winning just once in that sequence, and fallen nine points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool.
The Premier League champions, who have also played a game more than Arne Slot’s table-toppers, now face a tough test at Villa Park today. But Villa manager Emery, said of City manager Guardiola, a fellow Spaniard: “He’s the best. I’m a little bit surprised (about Manchester City’s form), but it’s football.
“It’s a very tough match and an exciting match for us. We’re respecting them a lot.
“Each team is giving us a lot of information about how we are and how we are facing them. (On Saturday) we face the best team from the last few years, clearly, in the Premier League.
“Maybe they’re not being consistent because of different circumstances, but they are the best and their coach is the best.
“They will again be getting the good performances and they have time to be a winner again in this competition.”
Seventh-placed Villa are two points and two positions below City following a late defeat at Nottingham Forest last weekend. – SuperSport.
