LEICESTER, England — Even after marking his 500th game in charge of Manchester City with a much-needed victory, Pep Guardiola insisted his team has "no chance" of winning a fifth straight Premier League title. City ended a five-game winless run in all competitions by beating Leicester 2-0 on Sunday. The win still left City 14 points behind Liverpool after the leaders trounced West Ham 5-0 away, with Arne Slot's team also having a game in hand. Guardiola says "we are far away from winning the Premier League. We accept there's already no chance of that but we have other things to fight for."
