Man City midfielder Rodri makes Arsenal admission as title rivals drop points at Liverpool

Rodri says Manchester City are not paying any attention to Premier League title rivals Arsenal and instead are just focussing on winning games.

City continued to apply pressure onto the league leaders by hammering relegation strugglers Southampton 4-1 on Saturday. That saw the gap at the top close to five points, with Pep Guardiola's side still holding a game in hand, ahead of Arsenal's fixture against Liverpool.

The Gunners have been relentless in the face of City's growing form but finally buckled at Anfield. They took a two-goal lead but ended up escaping through the skin of their teeth as Liverpool brought it back to 2-2 and only didn't win due to Aaron Ramsdale's amazing saves. Their lead is up to six points but it has put the title race into City's hands. However, Rodri insists the team aren't giving their rivals much thought.
