Pep Guardiola Ponders Whether Premier League Will Have Same Problem With Liverpool's Big Lead

LONDON (AP) – Pep Guardiola doesn't forget.

After Manchester City failed to cut into Liverpool's 22-point lead by losing 2-0 at Tottenham on Sunday, Guardiola's mind turned back to 2018 and irritation at comments from the Premier League leadership.

Guardiola's team winning the league by 19 points prompted Richard Scudamore to express a desire for ''someone to get a little bit closer to Manchester City'' while also praising the team's excellence.

Scudamore is no longer running the league. Guardiola wonders if the competition bosses are fine with a lead so commanding that Liverpool is in line to seal the title in March with two months of the season remaining.
