Despite embarking on a two-month winning run, Guardiola is taking nothing for granted.
“The only thing as a manager I said since my career started is think about the next one,” he said.
“The next one is Wolves. It doesn’t matter where or if they are in the top five or six, any team can beat us.
“Only we can see in every single game, and Tuesday is another game, to try to be so serious and play as good as possible to deserve the respect from our opponents.
“We deserve the respect of opponents when they look at us, when they watch us on TV, on the field, and say ‘that team makes a lot of good things’. That is all I want and after we will see.
“I am here to win the next one and then next one and arrive in May at the end of the season and say ‘how was the season’ and analyse what we can do to get better.”
