Pep Guardiola responds to claims of Mikel Arteta's Arsenal title advantage over Man City

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has been speaking to the media ahead of Wednesday evening's Premier League clash against Arsenal.

The north Londoners currently sit three points clear at the top of the league table, although their superior goal difference means that a City win at the Emirates Stadium would send them above the Gunners in the standings. Ahead of the highly-anticipated clash, Guardiola was asked if Mikel Arteta's time as the Citizens' assistant coach could offer Arsenal an advantage, to which he responded: "The time was mainly Liverpool, we can't say Liverpool didn't have the experience under pressure.

"I would say if there is three or four games left and the difference is one point, maybe it could be important. As I said there are lot of points to play, this is important but there are many."
