Pep Guardiola insists he feels no nerves going into the Premier League’s final day.
Manchester City lead Liverpool by a point and will wrap up the title with victory over Brighton at the AMEX Stadium today.
Despite what’s at stake, Guardiola is simply excited to be involved in such a thrilling race and maintains he felt more pressure ahead of January’s game with Liverpoolwhen their rivals were seven points ahead at the top of the table.
“I am so happy. No nerves at all. I was nervous before Liverpool, seven points behind, and we could be 10 points behind,” he said.
“Not now, no way. I sleep like a little boy. It is a dream, a privilege. I love it. The whole of England will be watching, probably Europe. There is no top four, no relegation issues.”
Should City fail to win, Liverpool will snatch the crown should they beat Wolves at Anfield.

So what will the message Guardiola sent to his players ahead of the game?
“I would say that I don’t have to say anything to motivate (the players),” Guardiola said. “I think my speech will be zero.
“They want to win the Premier League. What I saw in the training sessions – they want to win it. We are going to go out there at Brighton at three o’clock to win the game.
“We have not spoken for two or three days about the Premier League (title) or back-to-back, or what happens if we lose, about celebrations if we win – zero.
“It is just about Brighton, how they defend, their strengths and weak points, what we have to do.
“And on Sunday, ‘Guys, go out and play’. That is all.”
