Manchester City star Bernardo Silva has heaped praise on Premier League title rivals Arsenal.
The Gunners currently find themselves first in the table, five points ahead of City - who they are yet to face yet this season. The two sides will battle it out at the Emirates Stadium next month and they may be set to play even earlier depending on Arsenal's FA Cup match against Oxford United this evening.
If Mikel Arteta's men defeat the League 1 outfit tonight, they will travel up north to the Etihad to take on the Citizens in the fourth round of the cup after the reigning league champions defeated Chelsea 4-0 on Sunday afternoon. Now, City playmaker Silva has been speaking about the prospect of playing Arsenal, hailing the influence of Arteta - who was an assistant coach with the Manchester-based club for three and a half years before heading to the capital.
