Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says maybe another team deserves to win the Premier League after their sustained period of success.
The Blues have won six of the past seven Premier League titles, including four in a row, but have fallen five points behind leaders Liverpool following a 2-1 defeat by Brighton.
Guardiola has now lost four successive matches (excluding shootouts) for the first time in his 17-year managerial career, and this is City's first four-game losing run for 18 years, since Stuart Pearce was manager.
In recent weeks, they have lost to Bournemouth and Brighton in the league, Tottenham in the Carabao Cup, and Sporting in the Champions League.
