LONDON (Reuters) - Manchester City will be fighting for titles this season under Pep Guardiola despite their struggles, his Tottenham Hotspur counterpart Mauricio Pochettino said ahead of their Premier League clash at the Etihad on Saturday.

City made a flying start under the Spaniard, winning their first 10 games in all competitions, but have won only nine of 22 since. They are currently fifth in the standings and 10 points behind leaders Chelsea.
