Pep Guardiola will not be bringing in a new striker next month despite Manchester City's struggles in front of goal.

"Absolutely not," he replied.

"The last 32 or 33 games we played, Sergio (Aguero) played four or five. Not much. Gabriel (Jesus) has incredible numbers. In terms of goals to minutes since he came to the Premier League, he is one of the top three or four in history (he is actually eighth). He is a guy who scores goals but it is not just on his shoulders."

So, what can he do to solve the problem?

"Insist, insist and insist," he said. "There is no other way. We have to be positive and one day the sequence will break.

"We took 13 corners in the last game. The central defenders can score, the taker can be good. Anyone can score.

"The strikers have to defend, it is the same at the other end of the field. They all have responsibility. Everybody is involved to try and win the game."
