Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is adamant that he won’t give up, as he aims to turn around City’s recent deplorable form.City have won just one of their past 13 league games (3-0 home win against Nottingham Forest), losing nine. Therefore, Guardiola is under massive pressure, with his back to the wall.Dyched City! Pep’s depleted army drops points against EvertonWould he call it quits was something the press wanted to know ahead of his side’s Sunday Premier League game at Leicester City (5 pm).”I will try, I will keep going,” he said. “I will not give up. I want to be here. I want to do it and, with the situation that we have, we have to do it.”Of course I want it [to end the bad run], everyone wants it. I don’t want to disappoint my people in terms of the club, the fans, the people who love this club. I think all of us in our job want to do it well and please the people. That is undeniable, not a question mark. The biggest test is to come back again, but we have done that before.”##NAJAVA_MECA_8598376####EDITORS_CHOICE##Guardiola blamed injuries for being the primary reason for City’s poor form, with several key players missing.Rodri is out for the season with a knee injury, while Ruben Dias, John Stones, Ederson, Kyle Walker, Jack Grealish and Matheus Nunes also missed the Everton game.”Sometimes you have injuries. For many years, we were incredibly consistent, but now, yes, we’re a little bit down, and the main reason is that so many important players have been injured. But I saw the team spirit, how we trained this week, how focused they are, how they try to practise. We saw that against Everton, but unfortunately, we couldn’t get the result we wanted,” concluded Guardiola.ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 19Sunday 17.30: (8.00) Leicester (5.30) Man.City (1.35)18.00: (1.62) Crystal Palace (3.80) Southampton (5.80)18.00: (2.65) Everton (3.10) Nott.Forest (2.85)18.00: (2.40) Fulham (3.45) Bournemouth (2.90)18.00: (1.75) Tottenham (4.10) Wolverhampton (4.80)20.15: (7.50) West Ham (4.60) Liverpool (1.42)Monday 22.45: (2.00) Aston Villa (3.50) Brighton (3.70)22.45: (7.25) Ipswich (4.60) Chelsea (1.43)23.00: (2.70) Man.Utd.
