Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has heaped praise on Arsenal when discussing the Premier League title race.
The Gunners dropped points on Tuesday evening, drawing 0-0 to Newcastle United in what turned out to be a tense affair at the Emirates Stadium. Still, Mikel Arteta 's men find themselves eight points clear of second-placed City, although the reigning champions do have a game in hand on their title rivals.
Ahead of his side's Thursday night clash against Chelsea, Guardiola has claimed that it is unlikely that the Citizens will be able to catch Arsenal if the north London outfit continue on their current trajectory. "The way you have to reduce the gap is play good and win games," the former Barcelona head coach said.
