LIVERPOOL, England (Reuters) - Manchester City are back on top of the Premier League but manager Pep Guardiola certainly does not expect anything like a repeat of last season's procession to the title.

After a 2-0 win at Everton on Wednesday, City are ahead of Liverpool on goal difference with Guardiola's side having played one more game than Juergen Klopp's challengers. Tottenham Hotspur are five points behind the leading pair.
