"Not yet, I haven’t heard from him," said Mikel Arteta when asked if Pep Guardiola had been in touch ahead of Arsenal's Premier League clash with Liverpool on Wednesday night.
Arteta doesn't need any words of advice, or any added pressure, from friend Guardiola. His Arsenal side are on a good run of five consecutive wins and will arrive against Liverpool in the best shape they've been all season.
They are yet to score against Liverpool in three meetings in the campaign so far, but Gunners fans (and City fans) can be quietly optimistic of Liverpool dropping points in the title race just two days after City did the same. Guardiola says he will be watching, as City take on a new role in the title race.
