It’s been a testing couple of months for the Premier League champions, with eight defeats in our last 11 matches across all competitions.
However, with City travelling to Unai Emery’s Aston Villa for a 12:30 (UK) kick-off on Saturday, Guardiola insists his team are determined to bounce back.
ASTON VILLA V CITY | MATCH PREVIEW
“If you fall down six times, you have to stand up seven. There’s not an alternative,” he said in Friday’s press conference.
“I am fine. I am a normal person. When it is going well I am better, when it is not going well professionally we are more concerned about what we have to do.
“We have to start again but we don’t know what will happen [at Villa Park]. We have to try it again and sooner or later it will turn around.”
