Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola, has said that their focus now is to finish in the top four and not catch Premier League leaders, Chelsea.
City are fourth on the table and are currently 14 points behind the Blues, who beat Guardiola’s men 2-1 on Wednesday on Stamford Bridge.
The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich manager, says their priority now is to clinch a Champions League spot.
“The situation is clear, eight games left and we need to qualify for the top four, and that is our target until the end of the season,” Guardiola said during his press conference on Friday ahead of their league clash against Hull City at the Etihad.
He also expressed his delight that long injury absentees Vincent Kompany and Fabian Delph are available for selection.
“Delph was excellent and deserves more minutes. Vincent’s problem was his injury. I am always happy when my players can play.
“I will consult with my physio’s because they are both just coming back from long injuries,” he said.
