Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has snubbed Arsenal as their biggest rivals in the Premier League title race this season. It comes despite the Gunners leading the way in the division with eight wins from their opening nine, with Guardiola's side trailing behind by a single point.
Mikel Arteta's men have overcome some tough clashes so far, recently beating the likes of Tottenham and Liverpool to continue setting the pace. Their form and performances have led to many discussing them as potential title candidates, including former manager Arsene Wenger.
However, Arteta has been coy on such talk, claiming: "Looking at the table and seeing the club in this position is great. It gives you a great feeling obviously. But we are focused. It’s a really hungry and humble team, believe me. It’s nothing that we have done yet and there’s still a lot of things to improve. That’s the direction we’re taking."
