Having tasted success just once in our 13 previous games, our current run represents a promising turnaround in fortunes for Guardiola’s defending Premier League champions.
However, after winning an unprecedented amount of silverware in his eight full seasons in England so far and setting records aplenty on the way, Guardiola knows not to get ahead of himself.

Instead, the boss is taking each game as it comes.
“We were not able to win a game for a month and a half,” he said in Monday’s press conference.
“If you have that perspective of the last month it’s not good. I’ve been a manager here for 502 games and I would say that 485 more or less have been outstanding.
“We lost some games but we won a lot. We make 10 or 15 or 20 not good results that is not going to define my experience with the players all together what we have done in this period.
“It doesn’t change the fact that we have won these three games or what is going to happen in the next three games.
“All that is in my mind is Brentford.
“It’s one at time, the last few months have been like this. The lineup is always in the last moment, which players can play and which cannot.”
