Pep Guardiola backed his “extraordinary” group of players to step up and help Manchester City seal their first league win of the year when they take on Wolves in Saturday’s English Premier League clash.

City have brought in the new year with three draws and a defeat in four EPL games, however, they still remain in title contention after table-topping Arsenal’s failure to fully capitalise on their failings — the gap between the two sides is only seven points. But Guardiola knows it’s about time they snap their winless streak if they want to remain in the battle for silverware.
