Manchester City's improvement down to less running, says Guardiola

City have won six successive games since 15 December
‘The only difference is that we run less,’ says Guardiola

Pep Guardiola says Manchester City’s stuttering early-season results were down to his unclear message and their recent stellar form is because players now understand they have to “run less” when the team are in possession.

Since drawing with West Brom on 15 December City have won six consecutive games, and their unbeaten run stands at 13 in all competitions since a 2-0 defeat by Tottenham on 21 November. City have reached the Carabao Cup final for a fourth year running and are four points behind Liverpool but with two matches in hand, the first of which is the visit of Brighton on Wednesday.
