During his pre-match press conference, Guardiola acknowledged Everton's recent strong performances, noting their defensive solidity under manager Sean Dyche.
Guardiola emphasized the importance of his team returning to their optimal form, stating, "It's about us to come back to our best. It will take time." He also highlighted the need to secure positive results promptly, given Manchester City's current position in the league standings.
Addressing concerns about striker Erling Haaland's recent goal-scoring form, Guardiola defended the Norwegian, asserting that the team's overall performance impacts individual players. He remarked, "Erling is so important for us, will be so important for us, has been, and we try to do the things better, to use him better."
Manchester City currently sits seventh in the Premier League, having secured only one victory in their last eight matches. The Boxing Day match against Everton presents an opportunity for the team to begin reversing their recent poor run of form.
