Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola insists he only wants to stay at the Etihad.

After winning successive Premier League titles with record points totals, City look certain to finish second at best to runaway leaders Liverpool this term.

It has led to suggestions Guardiola will trigger a break clause in his contract, which runs to 2021.

However, speaking before Saturday's home game with Crystal Palace, Guardiola said: "Unless they sack me, I am staying, 100%."

City were third in the Premier League before winning 3-1 at Manchester United in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final and beating Aston Villa 6-1 to go back above Leicester.

"It's not because we have won the last two games," Guardiola added. "Even if it was going bad, I'm not going anywhere.

"No manager wins all the time. I enjoy working with these players. We've lost some games so it is simple, we need to work out what we can do better."
