Jurgen Klopp s side dropped points for the third time since being crowned champions when they lost 2-1 at Arsenal in midweek, a result that means the most they can amass this term is 99.
City became the Premier League s first centurions in 2017-18, with Gabriel Jesus last-gasp winner at Southampton on the final day of that dominant campaign bringing up three figures.
Liverpool looked set to tear the record books to pieces before their loss of rhythm over recent games, but Guardiola thinks the comprehensive nature in which they picked up a first top-flight title in 30 years remains worthy of considerable accl…
