MANCHESTER – Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola insisted his team are the ones to beat in the tightest Premier League race for years even though they remain third in the standings following a goalless draw with rivals Arsenal on March 31.
The draw allowed Liverpool to go top of the table on 67 points with nine games remaining, while Arsenal are second on 65, a point ahead of Guardiola's reigning champions. "We would not be here. Semi-finals of FA Cup, quarter-finals of Champions League and fighting against Liverpool and Arsenal," the manager said.
"When you see Liverpool play, I said we cannot 10 points in front, when I see Arsenal play, we cannot 16 points in front, they are really good," he said."So do we want to win? Yeah. We play to win? Yeah. We created more chances ? No. They created a lot? No. So it was a tight game, yes. It was a battle, yes," added the Spaniard, who had appointed Arteta as an assistant coach at City when he took charge in 2016.
