Guardiola Focuses on Title Race Amid Arsenal's Stumble
Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has dismissed concerns regarding Arsenal's recent stumble in the title race, asserting that the competition remains open. Arsenal's draw against Wolverhampton and Brentford has allowed City to close the gap, leaving them five points adrift with a game in hand.
Guardiola's focus is on the crucial home match against Newcastle United at the Etihad Stadium, scheduled for Saturday. He acknowledges that a victory would apply pressure on Arsenal, who are set to face Tottenham in the North London derby on Sunday.
Guardiola, who has lifted six league titles in a decade, is aware of the fine margins that can influence the title race, recalling Arsenal's late collapse in the 2023-2024 campaign. Additionally, Guardiola addressed issues of racism following allegations involving Vinícius Júnior during a recent European fixture.
