Can the Spaniard do anything to save City from their worst finish since Guardiola took over the club nearly a decade ago?

Pep Guardiola has said Manchester City won't settle for short-term fixes in the January transfer window in a bid to arrest their damaging run of form.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola continues to look disappointed and bemused by his side as they drew 1-1 at home with Everton on Boxing Day. City have now won just one of their last 13 games in all competitions and coughed up a great chance to get back to winning ways as Erling Haaland had a second half penalty kick saved.
