Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said he would watch last night's game between Liverpool and Manchester United 'as a fan' and he hoped the visitors got a positive result.
Deep down, he must have known it was unlikely and his side would go into the game against Brighton needing a win to go back to the top of the Premier League.
His message in his programme notes is quite simple.
"I want them (players) to continue doing all the things that have made us so successful over the last five years," he said.
"We have our way of preparing and playing and we should stick to it. If we do that, I think we can have a successful end to the season."
