Why Man City boss Pep Guardiola won't be supporting Manchester United against Arsenal

Pep Guardiola won't be cheering on rivals Manchester United against Arsenal this weekend, because he still feels Manchester City are miles away from the Gunners - even if they can move to within two points of the leaders on Sunday.

City closed the gap to Arsenal to five points on Thursday with a comeback win over Tottenham, and can reduce it further to two points on Sunday if they beat Wolves at 2pm before Arsenal host United later in the afternoon. By the time that game kicks off at the Emirates, though, City will have played two games more than Mikel Arteta's leaders.

Guardiola didn't hold back on Thursday night after his side recovered from 2-0 down to beat Spurs, taking aim at the whole club for their complacency and lack of desire in going for a third Premier League title in a row. So regardless of the weekend's results, the manager was still more concerned about those issues rather than the complexion of the Premier League table.
