Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola insists his players are good enough to snap their form slump.

City are TEN points behind leaders Liverpool after three Premier League defeats in four games.

Guardiola said: “Why should I not believe my players after what we have done in the last 16 months?

“They are heroes for me, I am close with them and nothing is going to change.

“I know my players perfectly and if you believe I will doubt my players you are completely wrong.

“So for me it is incredible what they do, and what they have done every single game.

“I know what we have to do.

“First of all I put in front of the mirror myself, I never point the finger at one person.

“I ask what I can do to help because they need it and I will help them."
