Sitting in second-place, City are six points behind Arsenal with a game in hand.
Some claim City will wobble today given the youth of Guardiola's team.
But the manager insists: “My confidence is in how we train and the players believe what we have to do. This is where the confidence comes from.
“Six Premier Leagues in the past, that does not give you confidence to win the next game because Ederson and (Ilkay) Gundo(gan), Kevin (De Bruyne), Kyle (Walker), Manu (Akanji) - a lot of players who made a lot of things aren’t here anymore.
“A lot are new. We will see. Cherki never won Premier League so how will he behave in that position? Gigio (Donnarumma), Khusa(nov) never been here.
“Nico (O’Reilly) it’s the first time he’s really there and Antoine (Semenyo) arrived a month ago, Marc Guéhi arrived weeks ago.
“There are lots of players who are going to play and try to win the first Premier League in my life.
“How we behave? I don’t know. My target is ‘guys, this will happen tomorrow and we will try to do this.
“I will try to convince them and say ‘let’s go’. That’s the way the game has to be played. Many things we cannot control.”
