City have won three of their last five matches in all competitions and are back on track for a shot at the title after Arsenal dropped points to Chelsea at the weekend.
Guardiola’s side have won each of their last five meetings against Fulham in all competitions and will aim to continue such a record as they travel to Craven Cottage on Tuesday night in what should be a heated clash.
Did Donnarumma cheat?
The Spanish head coach first commented on the Leeds United game and how manager Daniel Farke accused goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma of feigning injury to 'bend the rules' at the weekend.
Asked about whether his side would have dropped points in a game like this last season, he responded: "I don't know (if City would have won that game last season), I don't know. I am not able to know what happened or what would have happened. I don't know, to be honest.
"It all depends on Phil putting the ball in the net. I don't define the mentality of the team on one win. I don't believe in these kinds of things.
Guardiola revealed he hadn't spoken to his goalkeeper about Saturday's incident, adding: “It is what it is. I haven't spoken to him (Donnarumma) about it.”
Guardiola has respect for Silva
Fulham boss Marco Silva reached 200 games in charge of the club at the weekend as his side beat Brentford 2-1. Guardiola was asked about the long-serving manager and also gave a very short injury update on midfielder Rodri ahead of the clash.
"Marco has been there for many years, they are always tough games. Their organisation is exceptional, and I have the feeling that with the ball they are better and better. They are a tough, tough opponent. Against Chelsea, against Arsenal, in their last game against Sunderland, it is always so difficult for the opponent to break them up. It's always been the same in this beautiful stadium in London."
Asked about the availability of Rodri, Pep had just two words to say - "not yet."
The Spanish midfielder, a key part to Manchester City's success, has played just one minute of football since mid October.
Short and sweet from Guardiola in a press conference that lasted just two minutes, a rarity from the Spaniard, who is normally quite open in press conferences.
