Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has labelled Serie A outfit Napoli as the best team in Europe and likened their play style to Premier League title rivals Arsenal. The Gunners currently sit five points clear at the top of the table heading into the final 11 fixtures of the season.
City breezed through to the Champions League quarter-finals as Erling Haaland scored five goals in their 7-0 win over RB Leipzig at the Etihad Stadium on Tuesday evening. Their progression in the competition will see more fixtures added to their already busy schedule which may play into Arsenal's hands in the title race.
The Gunners are still involved in European competition themselves as they prepare to face Sporting CP in their Europa League round of 16 second-leg clash at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday night. City's squad depth would suggest they can handle the intensity of a title race and European football better than Arsenal, but the north Londoners have shown they are able to deal with any obstacle thrown their way so far this season.
