Arsenal are ahead of defending champions City in the Premier League table at the moment.
So, what has Pep Guardiola said about Arsenal? Let’s take a look.
Well, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has been speaking about Arsenal. The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss has noted that the Gunners are among the favourites for the Premier League title this season and thinks that they can win the championship.
Arsenal are second in the Premier League table at the moment with 36 points from 16 matches. Mikel Arteta’s side are a point behind leaders Liverpool.

Defending champions City are fourth now with 33 points from 16 matches. Aston Villa are above them in third.
Guardiola told talkSPORT when asked if Arsenal are the favourites: “They are one of them. Hopefully we can be too there. They are absolutely.”
Arsenal are more experienced than last season
In my view, Arsenal are a more experienced team this season than they were in the last campaign regarding the Premier League title race.
Mikel Arteta’s side could not win the games they needed to at the business end of the season. Manchester City showed their class and used their experience to get the job done.
William Saliba also had injury issues. I believe that Arsenal are now more mature. If the Gunners are in a similar position this season, then they will know exactly what to do and what not to do.
City, though, still have the best squad in the Premier League. And, let us not forget that star midfielder Kevin De Bruyne is on the sidelines at the moment. Can you imagine the impact that the Belgian will make on the team once he is back?
