Manchester City are on top of the League table with a point ahead of rival Manchester United with a game at hand.
When asked how he reacted to City being labelled title favourites, Guardiola said: “(In the) Same way as just one month ago (when) we had no chance to win the title!
“One month ago, we were not even in the Champions League qualification for next season -now we are the only favourites for the Premier League.
“There’s inside and outside, nothing else.
“Always we take the last result for what a team is doing (but) in 11 months, you have good moments and bad moments.
“We will have bad moments – we are going to lose games, winning 11 games in a row in different competitions in the times we are living is quite exceptional.
“But we are going to drop points and to lose games and it’s how we recover from that and be stable in that position.
“When people say ‘What you do expect from this season,’ I said: I don’t know. ‘Do you expect to win tomorrow?’ I don’t know, ‘Are you going to win the Premier League?’ I don’t know.
“I didn’t know it one month ago and I will not know it in one month and, what to expect tomorrow, I don’t know.
“My only concern is Sheffield United.”
