Manchester City may have smashed Southampton 6-1 to go back to the top of the Premier League, but boss Pep Guardiola is worried about his defence ahead of Sunday’s derby against Manchester United.
The Saints threatened to score goals for the first 20 minutes of the second half with City already 4-1 up, but Pep urged his team to improve with the Red Devils on the horizon.
With Tuesday’s Champions League clash against Shakhtar Donetsk (10 pm) to help prepare them, Pep warns: “I like to have that feeling that we won 6-1 and are top.
But at the same time, we have to improve in many situations to be a more stable team.
“When you concede those situations in the next stage of Champions League you are out because the level is higher.”
