Pep Guardiola makes Arsenal Premier League title claim

And speaking to the Evening Standard, Guardiola was asked about the likes of Arsenal and their place in the title race, with the City manager admitting he is not focused on the Gunners or any other competing side.

Indeed, Arsenal have a point to prove this season and will want to beat City to the title having fallen short last year, and optimism is high that Arteta can do just that.
