Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has technically admitted that Arsenal will win the title this season, saying they are in the best position to do so.
Guardiola noted that Arsenal will not drop many more points in the league again, insisting that his Man City side’s experience in winning the title on many occasions counts for ‘absolutely nothing.’
Arsenal are eight points ahead of the Citizens in the title race, although Pep Guardiola’s side have a game in hand over their rivals.
Manchester City play Liverpool at the Etihad today, while Arsenal will trade tackles with relegation-battling Leeds United at the Emirates Stadium later in the day.
The Spaniard has now warned his players to still remain focus saying anything can still happen with over ten games to play in the league.
“I would love to be in the position of Arsenal, rather than have the experience of winning four Premier Leagues in five years,” Guardiola told a pre-match press conference
“The advantage is that they are eight points in front of us, this is the real advantage. The past is the past, experience doesn’t count. Absolutely nothing.”
When asked if he felt Mikel Arteta’s side may struggle to cope with the pressure in the title race, Guardiola said: “I don’t think so, I don’t believe in that.
“I have the feeling they won’t drop that many points.’
