Mauricio Pochettino backs Pep Guardiola to deliver for Man City

Mauricio Pochettino believes Pep Guardiola has nothing to prove and only needs time to bring sustained success to Manchester City.

Tottenham boss Pochettino insisted City’s 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Everton changes nothing, with the Argentinian still adamant Guardiola’s men remain in the Premier League title shake-up.

Spurs could open up a six-point gap on City in today’s league clash at the Etihad Stadium, but Pochettino has no doubt that Guardiola will succeed in his new challenge in Manchester.
