Guardiola: If Arsenal continue to deny their opponents a chance to score, they will eventually win the championship

Manchester City coach Guardiola attended the pre-match press conference against Liverpool and talked about catching up with the current leader Arsenal in the title race.

Guardian said: "If they continue like this and don't let their opponents score, or even give them obvious scoring opportunities, then they will win the championship, and it will be impossible to catch up with them.

"But you always have to have higher expectations of yourself, and they may also lose points. What we do is win our games and try to close the gap as much as possible. They also have to come to our home court and experience a variety of situations throughout the season.

"But after the ups and downs, reconstruction, and years of experience in the market over the past two or three years, they have finally reached where they are today. They have performed very well for two or three consecutive seasons, and they seem to be getting closer and closer to the championship. But it is only the beginning of November, and no one can win the championship in early November. You may fall behind but you will not be crowned at this time."
