Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has stated his singular focus is on Saturday's Premier League match against West Ham United, brushing aside questions about the team's Champions League deficit against Real Madrid.

City faces a significant challenge in their Champions League tie, trailing Real Madrid 3-0. However, Guardiola emphasized the immediate importance of the domestic league, calling the Premier League "the most difficult one (title to win)."

Second-placed City trails leaders Arsenal by seven points but has a game in hand. West Ham, meanwhile, is battling relegation, sitting third from the bottom.

Guardiola confirmed that top scorer Erling Haaland, with 22 goals, is fit for the weekend's fixture.
