Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has named Arsenal as his side's "number one" rivals for the Premier League title this season.
The Gunners have been the surprise package this season and currently find themselves top of the table after collecting 10 wins in 12 games. Mikel Arteta's side have been City's main threat to their ambitions of retaining the Premier League title for a fifth time in six seasons with Liverpool struggling to match the form from previous campaigns.
Arsenal have lost just once in the league this season and sit two points above Guardiola's men going into this weekend's round of fixtures. The Gunners travel to Chelsea tomorrow afternoon in a mouth-watering London derby while the Citizens host Fulham at the Etihad Stadium later today (3pm).
