When asked about Erling Haaland’s new contract, Guardiola said that the deal is “exceptional” news for the club but would have “to see" if the Norwegian international is fit enough for Sunday's game.
Guardiola also stated that Haaland is making him a "better manager" and that the decision to extend his contract for so long was one taken by the player and club as they look to revive their season.
"He wants to show how much he wants to be here otherwise all the players sign one or two-year contracts. In 10 years, many things can happen but it’s proof of trust between him and the club.
"You never know what may happen in the next years but the club know how professional he is every day to show his talent. It was what he wanted and that is down to the trust of the club.
"Of course he can improve. We all can. The club and the team have to create an environment and moments when he can be unstoppable. That is when he is at his best. More than anything it is about understanding the game, during the game and what decisions he has to make.
"He is still young and with maturity of playing games and games it will happen naturally."
He also admitted that he now has a great chance at breaking more Premier League records especially if he keeps his goalscoring record alive.
"If he continues with the numbers since he arrived, then yes. It will depend on the team and him, but it is exceptional news for the club."
Despite links with other European clubs before the contract announcement, Guardiola confirmed that the 24-year-old loves being at the club and is fully committed to their project.
"I don’t know I’ve not asked him. Maybe winning the next game and motivation to score goals. I don’t have a feeling that he is going to say 'I’ll take a nap' now that he has this contract. He is a huge competitor.
"He loves the club and the people he is around. He loves the Premier League and living here with his family. He must feel there is no better place for him to be in the next 10 years."
Guardiola also discussed Ipswich striker Liam Delap who he says has developed well after breaking through the academy.
"He is doing really well. So many players have come from this academy. We thought he was a typical striker for the Premier League and he is doing really well. We are happy for him."
On the team's fitness issues, the Spaniard says he will have to wait and see who is ready to face Ipswich this weekend.
"We will see. Yesterday, we were off and now we are going to train so we will see. Some players finished with some problems like every game so we will see."
