Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has admitted that Arsenal is a better team.
Guardiola stated this during his Wednesday press conference ahead of the team’s home game against Tottenham.
The Gunners are currently top of the Premier League, eight points clear of City.
Guardiola has now said he cannot afford to be relaxed about the situation at the top of the table.
“It’s better [being eight points ahead], you can drop points.
“If you are behind you cannot drop points.
“Pressure is the next game, we can’t think about it other to win the next. After the conditions dictate, if they’re good in all departments they’ll be there.
“They [Arsenal] are better than us so far. Many games to play. Don’t think about it, catch Liverpool who was in front in the last years, just think the next game and see what happens.
“Manchester City have been in this position [in the #PL] many times in the past. I’ve never been relaxed, even eight points in front,” Guardiola said.
