Pep Guardiola has been speaking to the media before Sunday's trip to Anfield to face Liverpool.

Here are the key lines from the Manchester City boss:

  • Ilkay Gundogan and Oleks Zinchenko won't be back until after the international break;

  • Guardiola is currently "more happy than ever" with his squad, citing their level of consistency and the way they're playing;

  • He praised Jurgen Klopp and his teams for helping him become a better manager: "He put me to another level, to think about it, to prove myself, to be a better manager. That is the reason why I am still in this business";

  • However, Guardiola insists "there are many teams who can fight for the league".
