Pep Guardiola insists there's reason for optimism at Manchester City, despite a troubled campaign that has seen the defending champions reduced to battling for a place in the top four.
Following Wednesday's 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur, a result that boosted their hopes of playing Champions League football next season, the City boss laid out what he believes should be a "bright future" at the Etihad Stadium. (The victory moved them into fourth place, a point above Chelsea, with 11 games remaining.) "The young players and the new acquisitions maybe the club will do in the summertime -- in the next transfer window -- have to lead this club for the next few years," he said.
