Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said on Oct 3 he was delighted to see his team rebound after suffering back-to-back losses in August, with the club unbeaten in the last six matches in all competitions.

City have picked up seven points in their last three English Premier League games and scored a league-high 14 goals in their six matches, eight of which were scored by Erling Haaland.

"The happiest feeling is how we have improved. I love that feeling. And the feeling that I think we can do better," Guardiola told reporters ahead of their visit to Brentford on Oct 5.

"That's the feeling that I like as a manager. The feeling we are creating again, the tempo, the pace. Everything is a little bit more fluid and consistent. But we can do better and I love that."

City have 10 points, three more than Brentford.
