Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has hailed Arsenal as the best team in England and Europe.
Guardiola was speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, after watching his team dismantle Chelsea 3-0 on Sunday.
City pulled off a crucial result in the Premier League title race, thanks to goals from Nico O’Reilly, Marc Guehi and Jeremy Doku.
Ahead of Arsenal’s visit this Sunday, City are now six points behind the leaders with a game in hand.
But Guardiola has warned that it won’t be an easy match.
He said: “We have to talk about what we have to do against a team that defends well, wins duels, attacks also with the long balls, thousand million things that they do brilliantly this season.
“That makes them the best team in England, the numbers are there – and the best team in Europe – the numbers are there. We have incredible respect.”
