Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has conceded it will be “almost impossible” to catch Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table.
Heading into Saturday’s Premier League action, Mikel Arteta’s Gunners hold a six-point lead over City, who themselves are one point ahead of defending champins Liverpool, with Arsenal continuing to churn out positive results while those around them falter.
Arsenal have conceded just three goals so far this season and have even made it hard for opponents to register shots on target, leaving Guardiola convinced stopping the Gunners on their pursuit of Premier League glory will be a tough ask.
“If they continue this way—they play games, they don’t concede goals, not even clear chances, and they win and win—oh my God, it will be almost impossible [to catch Arsenal], but always you expect you will be better and they can drop points. All we can do is win our games and be there close.
“They have to come here, and there are many things in the season that we will experience.
“It’s exceptional what they have been doing for two or three seasons. It looks like every time it’s closer.
“But we are in early November, and early November nobody wins the title. You can lose it, but nobody wins the title.”
