The manager of the Cityzens always put the Gunners as the favorites to win the Premier League before today, but now even he admits that his club is now in the pole position to earn 5th title in 6 seasons.
The London club is still in the 1st position, but when the Spanish manager was questioned, he said: “Absolutely my position now, because it’s in our hands. We must win the matches in hand, but it depends on us. Until today, I preferred the Gunners’ position.
Since Pep Guardiola became their manager, Manchester City have won 40 Premier League points against Arsenal, that’s more than any team has won against any other specific opponent in that time.

“The next three clashes are crucial. Fulham on the weekend, then two matches at Etihad. These 3 clashes will govern if we do what we have to do. It sounds ignorant, but we are behind Arsenal; they are 2 points before us.”
