LONDON: Pep Guardiola and Mikel Arteta said that the top-of-the-table game between Manchester City and Arsenal will not decide the Premier League title race.
League leaders Arsenal are five points above Pep Guardiola’s side before Wednesday’s match at Etihad Stadium.
However, second-placed City have two games in hand on the Gunners who have drawn three matches in succession.
“It is really important, but not decisive because there are many games to play,” Guardiola said.
The two Spaniards worked together at City before Arteta left to become Arsenal manager in 2019, but Guardiola said “nothing changes” their relationship when their sides face each other.
“We see each other less and we speak less but our relationship is always happy,” he said.
