Arsenal have had a phenomenal start to the new Premier League season.
The Gunners have dropped points in just two games so far. They lost to Liverpool at Anfield and drew with Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City at home.
Since then, Arsenal have been flawless in every game they have played, and they are looking like champions.
Guardiola has now had his say on the North Londoners.

Pep Guardiola admits Arsenal are looking ‘unstoppable’
Ahead of Manchester City’s game on Sunday, Arsenal are nine points ahead of them in the Premier League table.
A win for Guardiola’s men against Bournemouth will close that gap to six, which is still a lot when you consider how strong Mikel Arteta’s side have been.
Arsenal broke the record for most set-piece goals scored in the first 10 games during their win against Burnley, and they are on track to smash many more records this season.
Guardiola is aware of how good the Gunners are and has raved about them. However, he feels his Manchester City side can still pip them to the Premier League title.
He said in a press conference, as per HaytersTV: “We are six points behind Arsenal, who look unstoppable right now because they play fantastic.
“They don’t concede goals, they are so solid, they can score from many different situations, positions and many players.
“But even with that, I think when we make this step a little bit better (more players start scoring), we will be closer, games will be more tighter and we will be able to win.
Arsenal could run away from Manchester City before Pep Guardiola fixes his major problem
Jamie Carragher named Erling Haaland as Arsenal’s biggest threat to the title this season, and he was absolutely right.
The Norway international has scored 11 times in nine Premier League games this term. The rest of the Manchester City squad has managed six goals.
It is clear that City are overly reliant on Haaland’s goals right now, and Guardiola is trying to fix that problem.
However, with tough games against Bournemouth, Liverpool and Newcastle United coming up in the Premier League, Guardiola’s men could struggle.
That gives Arsenal the opportunity to run away with the league and make it almost impossible for Manchester City to catch them.
