Analysis - no need for Guardiola to panic

Danny Murphy will join Gary Lineker and Jermaine Jenas on Match of the Day on BBC One and the BBC Sport website at 22:25 GMT on Saturday.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is getting a lot of criticism for the changes he keeps making to his team and formation, especially with them defending as badly as they did against Leicester last weekend.

It is true that City are going through a bad time. Even Wednesday's win over Watford was not a convincing one - but there is definitely no need to panic.

What Guardiola has done so far tells us that, after 26 games in charge of City in all competitions, he does not know his best XI or the way he wants to play.
