Pep Guardiola has delivered his latest thoughts on Manchester City's Premier League title battle with Arsenal which includes a major message to the Gunners. The latest chapter in the race for the 2022/23 crown will be written this weekend as City travel to Southampton before Arsenal face Liverpool at Anfield.
Despite their eight-point lead over City, reservations are still prominent over whether or not Arsenal can be considered title favourites. Guardiola's side have a game in hand over the Gunners and must welcome Arteta's men to Etihad Stadium before the end of the season.
Winning those two matches would cut the gap to just two points, and Arsenal's upcoming run-in is another major challenge. The first of those tests arrives this weekend against Liverpool at a ground where the league leaders have not won at since 2012.
