Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says that the Premier League crown is still the priority for his team, warning that the title race "is not done".

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has said that the Premier League crown is still the priority for his team, warning that the title race "is not done".

City, having won their first piece of silverware under Guardiola on Sunday, are 13 points clear at the summit with a game in hand to played against Arsenal on Thursday.

Speaking at his press conference ahead of the match against the Gunners, the Spaniard reminded reporters that the Citizens still face "tough" games before the end of the season.

"We are fighting for the most important title of the season by far - the Premier League," Guardiola said. "More than the Champions League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup. Of course there is an argument to be focused because the next six fixtures are terrible in terms of the opponents.

"We have four games away and of course we are in a good position but [the title] is not done. We have still to win six games and when you think about Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester United and our away games like Stoke, who are playing to avoid relegation [it will be hard].

"We are also going to Goodison Park [to face Everton] which statistically is always a tough game. We still have a lot of tough games to play. In football and sport you have to forget what you have done - good or bad - and think about the next [game]."

City could still win a treble this season, with the club almost certain of a spot in the last eight of the Champions League.
