Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has disclosed why his squad is performing so well at the end of the season.

The Premier League season ends next month, and Manchester City has improved their form.

Guardiola’s side has not conceded a goal in their last three matches in all competitions.

They defeated Arsenal 2-0 in the Carabao Cup final, thrashed Liverpool 4-0 in the FA Cup quarter-final and also defeated Chelsea 3-0 in the Premier League on Sunday.

The Cityzens are six points behind Arsenal on the Premier League table with a game in hand.

Speaking on why Man City are so good at the end of the season, Guardiola said at his post-match interview after his team defeated Chelsea (as quoted by Fabrizio Romano): “The sun. No, no, I’m not joking.

“In Manchester, there is never sun. If there were sun in November, we would be Premier League champions in January. It’s the sun, honestly. The mood is better.”
