City boss Guardiola, who is chasing his third consecutive league title, has predicted an even closer race for the Premier League crown by claiming that all top-six sides could challenge for it.
"I don't know if it will be like last season, two real contenders -- Liverpool and us -- to win the Premier League," the Spaniard said.
"I think United with Harry Maguire and the other players they bought, Arsenal as well, and Chelsea, and Tottenham that they won all the pre-season so I think there will be many, many contenders this time.
"Liverpool are a top-class team and the difference is one point ahead and one penalty ahead, that is the difference. It's minor.
"Sometimes the coin can come on your side, sometimes it cannot so that is why it's good to face them to see how well prepared we have to be to try to win the title."
