What the managers say
Pep Guardiola: "It was important after the draw against Everton. Nobody expected then we would win 16 games in a row. After that, we won against Liverpool. You are not always able to win games by a big margin so in that moment, it was important."
Eddie Howe: "I think we have to believe that we can win. Saying that, it's going to be extremely difficult and we're probably going to need a bit of luck."
