Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says his players can handle the title pressure.

City meet Wolves today needing to win to stay in touch with leaders Arsenal.

It is good in one way, it is demanding," said Guardiola.

But it has happened every season I have been a manager - after we won the league at Barcelona.

I was a failure at Bayern because I didn't win the Champions League and I would be failure here if Ederson did not save in the last moments from Lukaku.

I learn from many years that in football and in sport, not always you can win - you have to accept it, improve, and move on from that.

It is better [to have the pressure] - I would love to be in semi-final of the Champions League. It is much better.

Even now, knowing what we have done is exceptional, it is not normal - we are here fighting again for the Premier League - it is not normal.

I don't need to drop to know it is not normal what these players have done.

No points can be dropped - trust in your players and that is a big thing and a big weapon.

We [could lose these] four games, but that would not mean I do not trust my players - it is impossible because I saw them. It will not change at all the opinion.

We are fighting for something no club in this country has ever done - ever - and we want it."
