The Citizens who have so far gathered 29 points are currently two points behind league leaders, Arsenal,l ahead of this weekend’s fixtures.
But Guardiola is not ruling out Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Liverpool, who are below his team.
He also believes Liverpool, who are 15 points behind Arsenal, can go on a winning run and eventually end up as the champions of the English league.

Speaking ahead of Saturday’s clash with Fulham, Guardiola said, “In the past, the same manager and same squad were able to make 17 victories in a row, 18 victories in a row many times.
“In these last few years, many times they have done it, why could they not do it again?
“Nobody knows what will happen after the World Cup, in the transfer window and how players will come back.”
Guardiola, however, said the first candidate right now is Arsenal because they are top of the league.
“The first candidate right now is Arsenal. Why? They are top of the league. The gap to the rest is close,” he added.
