(Reuters) - Manchester City are on the verge of moving to the top of the Premier League as they will leapfrog title rivals Arsenal if they beat Fulham on Sunday but manager Pep Guardiola is taking nothing for granted even though his side are now favourites to win a third successive top flight title.
City travel to Fulham having won nine of their last 10 league matches, most recently a 4-1 win against leaders Arsenal on Wednesday. A win against the London side would lift City a point clear of Arsenal with a game in hand.
"People are saying it is over - it is not. It will be over when it is over, but it is not over. We still have seven games, we have to our game. Now we go to Fulham against an incredible team," Guardiola told reporters on Friday. De Bruyne was denied a hat-trick when he was substituted in the second half and Guardiola said the 'exceptional' 31-year-old needed to be looked after amid a hectic schedule.
