Pep Guardiola thinks his side are the victims of their own success and says he accepts that some will view Manchester City not winning the Premier League this season as a failure.
Last season's treble winners have gone four games without a Premier League win for the first time since 2017 after successive draws against Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham were followed by defeat at Aston Villa on Wednesday.
They can cut the gap on league leaders Liverpool to four points with victory away at Luton, but City's poor recent run means retaining their Premier League title now looks like an uphill battle.
"Managers are the bosses, they are the main person and they have to find the solution," Guardiola told Sky Sports.
