City host Everton later on Thursday, with Toffees boss Sean Dyche yet to beat Guardiola in 17 managerial meetings.
However, City are going into the game with a record of one win in their past 12 matches and seventh in the Premier League.
"We have to do more. We cannot do the same, because the results are not going well," said Guardiola.
"Something that you have done well during these years now it doesn't work - [so] you have to do something else.
"Everyone has to do more - simple. I have to, the players have to. Even the uncomfortable things and difficult things, we have to do more.
"Of course, there are doubts - absolutely - that the decisions are not good, or how to do this or that. But I'm so positive."
Chris Sutton is making predictions for all 380 Premier League games this season, against a variety of guests.
This week, he takes on Eats Everything, aka DJ and producer Daniel Pearce.
Sutton's prediction: 2-1
Manchester City are finding everything difficult at the moment, including creating chances and scoring goals, but I still think it is just a matter of time until they come good again - they have to.
There is so much noise around City at the moment, about what is going wrong, but this is still a game they should win.
Everton have kept clean sheets in five of their past six games, but they got thumped the last time they came to Manchester - at the start of December, when they lost 4-0 to Manchester United.
I think they will lose at Etihad Stadium too.
Eats Everything's prediction: 2-0
Everton have been drawing a lot but they have not seen much of the ball - they had less than 25% of possession against Chelsea and Arsenal - and it is going to be the same story here. Arsenal battered them really, just without scoring, and although City have been struggling I still think they will find a way through.
Image source, Getty ImagesSince the start of November, Manchester City have earned fewer points than any other Premier League side (four) - winning one, drawing one and losing six of their eight games in that run.
City have also shipped multiple goals in seven of those eight games - as many times as they had in their previous 40.
Image source, Getty ImagesFor me, wherever I played, I'd always see where the first game was, where the last game was, and where we were at Christmas.
There is such a big difference between being at home on Boxing Day versus being away because, depending on what your manager is like, if you've got an away game there is a chance you're training on Christmas Day.
Some of the toughest times I had was when we had away games on Boxing Day and we had to come in to train at four or five on Christmas. That's when everything is just starting at home and everyone is really enjoying themselves and you have to leave.
If you lose you are sat in the hotel having walked away from friends and family all for no points. It's not the best feeling and as a consequence you bring home some of that disappointment with you.
But, in reality, you just know it is the busiest time of the year. The floodlights are always on for the games, the conditions get that little bit tougher, you've got games it feels like every three or four days.
I think it's an exciting part of the season because you can gain real, significant momentum but ultimately it comes down to are you winning games.
I think the Christmas period itself can be tough if you have got family but in reality it always feels nicer when you get that win on Boxing Day. The atmosphere in the stadiums is a little bit different, the atmosphere among the players is a bit different.
You're very thankful to get the chance to do what you do, but if you end up losing on Boxing Day or around that spell it is rubbish because it almost feels like it was a waste of time with all the efforts you put in.
But, I get it. The fans love it, there is a lot of clamour around it. You lose track of days just like everyone else does after Christmas and before New Year but it is great to play in front of those types of crowds and it just does feel different playing during that week or two.

Image source, Getty ImagesIn a year that is now being marred by Manchester City's torrid run of form across the last 12 matches, it is very easy to forget the endless list of memorable moments that created history not only at the Etihad Stadium, but also across English football during the second-half of last season.
You could say that the calendar year as a whole has been a tale of two halves, and that brings us to our Moment of the Year for Pep Guardiola's side; the 2-3 win over Newcastle United less than two weeks into 2024 - the ultimate tale of two halves in a football match.
This was arguably the moment the direction of the Premier League title swung in the direction of City once again. It was the moment that many of City's challengers felt that they were becoming helpless and were about to witness Pep Guardiola's players steamroll to a fourth consecutive Premier League title - and that is exactly what happened.
Kevin De Bruyne made the ultimate return from six-months out to slam home an excellent equaliser before providing a stunning assist for Oscar Bobb to score an incredible individual goal of his own and firmly break through into the first-team scene.
This was not only a glimpse at the sensational quality that Manchester City have at their disposal, capable of delivering league title after league title, but also a look towards the future, and the constant conveyor belt of world-beating talent being supplied to Pep Guardiola through the academy system.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says a recent decline in form is not all about Erling Haaland but it would certainly be a big help if the Norwegian could rediscover his scoring touch.
Haaland has scored goals so regularly since his arrival at City, it seems bizarre to talk about a goal drought.
But one goal in six matches and four in 11 since he bagged the winner against Southampton on 26 October, since when City have managed a single victory, is, relatively speaking, exactly what it is.
Guardiola is right when he says a lot of little things, and a few big ones, are contributing to his side's form collapse.
But arguably Haaland's barren run falls into the latter category.
City have created a lot of chances at points in their present run and not taken them. An extra goal here and there would make all the difference.
City have scored three times in their last two home games against Everton. Haaland has got them all.
How Guardiola needs the striker to find the net again on Boxing Day.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has been speaking to the media before Thursday's Premier League game against Everton (kick-off 12:30 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
He was asked if Matheus Nunes, Ederson and John Stones will be fit for Thursday's match: "We will see this afternoon. Right now, I don't know. We will talk to the doctor [about John Stones]."
He was asked for the reasons behind Erling Haaland's lack of goal scoring form: "It's about us, not just one player. When Erling was prolific, it's because of the team. Erling is important for us and we will try to use him better."
On Everton boss Sean Dyche: "He always has really good defensive structure, good patterns offensively, defensively. Good transitions, long balls really strong. One of the best in clean sheets in the top five leagues."
He was asked if the players are training on Christmas Day: "We train today [Christmas Eve] and train tomorrow night. Stay over here and play Boxing Day. They will have been with the families for two days. Today home with the families, tomorrow home with the families. Hopefully they want to be here."

On the latest episode of BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club, The Athletic's Rory Smith says he would rather be Ruben Amorim than Pep Guardiola at the moment, saying that Amorim seems "completely unfazed" about Manchester United's form.
On the other hand, former Premier League striker Chris Sutton says he would rather be Pep Guardiola because of his superior squad and Amorim still needing "so many transfer windows" to be successful.

Image source, Getty ImagesWe all know that creeping feeling on the back of your neck, when you see something is going badly wrong and you slowly realise it might just be your fault. I wonder who is feeling this most at Manchester City just now.
As the first team creaks and groans with age, eyes must be on at least two of the perfect replacements, Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers, who had literally been available under their noses for free all along, and they let them go.
Pep Guardiola bats it off as best he can and there is the old PSR argument for having sold Palmer, but in reality it is an utter embarrassment.
It hasn't quite reached Chelsea proportions. They once thought getting rid of Kevin de Bruyne and Mo Salah for a combined profit of around £10m, was the height of good sense. That's the gold standard of short sighted business decisions, but City's recent howler looks bad enough.
Rogers was man of the match against City at the weekend and I have heard it said that all he has to do now is up his goal count. This misunderstands his particular brilliance completely. It is the fact that he is not a purely selfish striker that sets him apart from others and why the likes of Jhon Duran and Ollie Watkins are desperate to work with him.
The pass for Duran's goal on Saturday was classic Rogers. Most other strikers would have shot themselves, but he knew that passing was the better percentage option for a team goal.
That is why it will rarely be Duran and Watkins up front together but always Rogers twinned with one of the other two. And it is why his goal scoring stats should never be considered the main thing.

Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Aston Villa and Manchester City.
Here are some of your comments:
Villa fans
Clive: A solid performance and a structure that worked well. We were patient in defence and fast in attack. Excellent all-round throughout the game. We deserved a clean sheet and only a stumble on the ball gave them the goal.
Kit: Villa were outstanding in possession. Their ability to hold off tackles and run with the ball is what undid Manchester City. Rogers was the prime example of going past players to keep attacks in midfield and around City's box. It was like watching a class Real Madrid team. A fantastic game in which City had no answer and were second-class from start to finish.
Tony: Brilliant display. Kamara is so important for us. Onana gave us a rock-solid platform in central midfield. Tielemans pulled the strings in a more advanced number 10 role.
Mark: The best Villa performance of the season. Rogers and Duran are a formidable pairing up front.
Colin: We have seen Villa play like this before. As Emery says, consistency counts. If we maintain this, top four is guaranteed. City weren't so poor but they were simply outplayed by a team of underrated players. City will recover, but Villa can finish above them this season. A good feeling!
City fans
Anton: After nine years, teams have worked out a simple way to beat Manchester City's press and high line. After five defeats, Guardiola said it was up to him to find a solution - which he hasn't done. More plan A isn't working. In the past five years, City's build-up play has got slower and slower. The signs were there last season when Haaland had a goal drought.
Tony: Erling Haaland contributes almost nothing to City. He only scores when the opportunity is given to him on a plate. He does nothing to help the team defend, even in midfield. City may as well play most of their games with nine outfield players.
Steve: Sadly, age has caught up with the bulk of this team and it is a constant cycle of recurring injuries. We definitely need some fresh legs in the January transfer window. The only thing that really disappoints me are so-called City fans questioning Pep. There is nobody I would rather have looking to get us through this tough patch than him.
John: Disgusting from the players, no fight or passion. The club and Pep are to blame for this situation. It is bad management from Pep, allowing players to leave and not replacing them with quality. This is a dead season now and I can't wait for it to be over.

Image source, Getty ImagesManchester City boss Pep Guardiola has been speaking to TNT Sports following the defeat: "We made a really good first-half. Second-half, we dropped. We changed our pressing for the reason that John [Stones] could not continue. Congratulations Aston Villa, and we keep going."
On whether John Stones couldn't continue because of his previous injury: "Yeah."
On their opponents Aston Villa: "In the mid-block, they are so strong. We had good moments. We had chances, more chances than in the [Manchester] United game but, in the second-half, we dropped and our pressing was not good enough.
"We struggled a little bit and we could not drop them well. We found a goal in the end, but too late. We struggle to score and we concede goals."
On goalscorer Phil Foden: "The last one or two games, he has been better. Most of the players have had problems. Sometimes the next season is not the same, the people change and the situation changes."
On the team getting their confidence back: "Step by step. We have nice personalities in the team and, sooner or later, we are going to find it."
On whether he has to change his approach moving forward: "Yeah, I have to do it. I back my players, that is what will be different."
Image source, Getty ImagesManchester City striker Erling Haaland has been speaking to TNT Sports following the disappointing defeat: "It's a couple of minutes since the game, so not a lot [has been said]. But, of course, we are disappointed. It is not good enough. It is not good enough from me."
On how Aston Villa played: "They are good players. It's difficult to come here but we are Manchester City, we should be out there. We have to continue, we have to believe and we have to keep working hard. We have to continue.
"First, I'm looking at myself. I haven't been doing things good enough. I haven't been scoring my chances. I have to do better. I haven't been good enough."
On their current confidence levels: "Of course, not the best. We know how important confidence is and you can see that it affects every human being. That is how it is. We have to continue and stay positive, even though it is difficult."
On manager Pep Guardiola: "He won the Premier League six times in seven years, so we will never forget that. He will find the solutions. He has been doing that every single year.
"We still believe in him. We have to work harder than ever right now."
On what Guardiola said to him in the tunnel: "It is the small details, I don't remember right now. I'm thinking we just lost a game, another one. I don't remember, but it was probably some small instructions to do things better."
