Guardiola: Man City players love title pressure

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola believes that pressure brings out the best from his team.

The Spaniard was full of praise for Erling Haaland and his other stars after a 5-1 drubbing of Luton Town.

With Arsenal and Liverpool both losing a day later, City are now top of the Premier League with mere weeks left in the season.

"They like to play the pressure," the City manager said post-game to reporters.

"They like it when you are dead or alive."

He then added: "That doesn't mean we are going to do it but I am pretty sure we will be there until the end because I know them, I see their faces in the meetings before games and how they prepare.

"That means we'll be Premier League champions? No, no. I am not saying that. But we will compete, that is for sure."
