Guardiola: I believe in the mental strength of Man City players

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says he has no doubts about the bottle of his players in the title race.

Beating Everton tonight will see City go top of the table ahead of Liverpool on goal difference.

Guardiola was reluctant to be drawn on the mentality of Jurgen Klopp's squad, but backed his own to stay strong down the home straight.

"What I would say is I trust my players," he said. "I have the feeling that when I put them under pressure they react good. They accept the challenge.

"When we speak I say, 'okay show me again how good you are, come on', and they do it."
