'I'm the man responsible': Pep Guardiola takes the blame for Manchester City's shaky run of form - after falling eight points behind Arsenal in the title race ahead of clash with Tottenham - as backs his side's 'exceptional' mentality

Pep Guardiola is shouldering the blame for Manchester City's stuttering form after they fell eight points behind Arsenal in the Premier League title race.

City host Tottenham on Thursday having lost two of their last five league matches and questions over how they can get the best out of 27-goal top scorer Erling Haaland.

Guardiola believes it is up to him to improve a team that has scored more than once just three times in the previous nine Premier League fixtures.
