After the big home win over Wolves, Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola spoke to Matchday.

About the competition

I would say it was a better result than a performance, we conceded a lot of simple goals in the first half. We created a lot of chances, we had to score more goals and Wolves have a very good foundation with players like Cunha, Huang Wei and they have a lot of quality and physical ability there. But it's a good result, happy for them.

On whether City's performance has sent a message

The message wasn't about that, Arsenal delivered the message as well. Mikel Arteta won the game and they won it with ease. But yes, there's a week of games left, two weeks to the FA Cup, but there's a week left in the Premier League, three games left. We have to get nine points or Arsenal will win the title and hopefully we can come back here in a few days and try to win against West Ham.

On the decision to replace Haaland as he pursues the fifth

We have a chance. Someday he will do it. He could have played until the end of the game, but Alvarez was very important and his timing was decisive. Alvarez did a great job and I wanted to give him some time. Rico Lewis also did a good job, but again I can't give him time. In a game against Crystal Palace, he was the best player on the pitch. Everyone is ready, healthy and ready for the rest of our games.
