Man City have won just one of their past 10 games in all competitions as their form continues to founder.
Pep Guardiola has insisted that Manchester City’s dressing room ‘is stable’ despite their woeful form continuing.

City turn their attention to the Manchester derby against fierce rivals United on Sunday. Guardiola has insisted that his side have to keep trying to improve if they’re to pick up. Speaking after the Juventus loss, he said: “We are the best! I love my team, the way we play, and the results are not going to convince me of the opposite,” he said afterwards.

“Tomorrow [Thursday] we recover, have a day off, and we prepare the game against United with our people and try and insist in the good things that we do and improve on what we can do better. It’s just that.”
