The reigning champions suffered a loss in London to spark fears of another slow start to the season but their manager remains unfazed
Pep Guardiola says that he is "more than optimistic" when it comes to Manchester City's fortunes this season, despite a frustrating opening day defeat to Tottenham in the Premier League.
The reigning champions were handed a loss in London, as Son Heung-min condemned the Spaniard's side - the most expensive starting line-up in British football history - to a particularly jarring reverse, one that has incited fears of another slow start.
Ahead of this week's first home game of the campaign, against newly-promoted Norwich City however, Guardiola has shrugged off concerns that his side could be forced to endure another early season wobble, albeit with the acknowledgement that "anything" can unfold.
