City had the opportunity to move to within three points of Arsenal after the Gunners could only draw at home to Brentford on Saturday.

On Friday, Pep Guardiola came out fighting when asked about the charges.

What did Guardiola say about Premier League charges?

"My first thought is we've already been condemned," the City boss said.

"We are lucky we live in a country where everyone is innocent until proven guilty. We didn't have this opportunity. We have been sentenced already.

"What is going to happen, I don't know. We have good lawyers and I know we are going to defend our position.

"This happened with UEFA, it is the same," he said. "The same articles, the same accusations. We will defend ourselves like what happened in the UEFA situation. The court will dictate what happens.

"I am fully convinced that we will be innocent. Since Abu Dhabi took over the club, it has been like that since day one.

"Be careful in the future because many clubs can make suggestions and a lot of clubs can be accused, like we are accused, without being innocent.

"When they push to get rid of us, it is obvious they believe we didn't behave properly. We can accept that but let us defend ourselves."
