Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher hit back at Pep Guardiola after the Manchester City boss mocked the pundit for failing to win the Premier League.
The City boss insisted during a fiery press conference on Tuesday that his side will win the Premier League this season.
Should City do so, they will become the first side to win four Premier League titles on the bounce.
It comes after City took criticism for their defensive display in a 3-3 draw with Tottenham on Sunday.
Gary Neville accused City of becoming complacent after three consecutive draws with Chelsea, Liverpool and Spurs.
But Guardiola hit back at the pundits, and said Carragher had no idea how to win a Premier League title.

‘Gary Neville knows how difficult it is otherwise he would’ve won four Premier Leagues in the best period of Manchester United,’ Guardiola said.
‘But he didn’t do it. Maybe they accuse us of complacency because they felt complacency (at United). Maybe they felt it. This team so far, no chance.
Jamie Carragher didn’t win one (title). Micah Richards didn’t win four Premier Leagues in a row. Never, ever. It’s never happened.
I don’t have anything to say about the pundits, honestly. It’s not about that (complacency). Maybe I’m wrong but I don’t think it’s about complacency.’
But Carragher took umbrage with Guardiola’s words, and raised the 115 Premier League charges levelled at City in a response to the Spaniard.
‘I think I’d have probably won one if Liverpool were owned by a nation state, and pushed the rules so far that the PL charged us 115 times!!’ tweeted Carragher.
‘I was actually praising Pep’s team after the game on Sunday.’
