\n\t\tPep Guardiola says \u2018Arsenal are not the champions\u2019 ahead of Man City vs Liverpool<\/p>\n
Pep Guardiola<\/a> has reminded Arsenal<\/a> supporters that \u2018they are not the champions\u2019 ahead of Manchester City<\/a>\u2019s Premier League<\/a> match against Liverpool<\/a> on Sunday.<\/p>\n Arsenal were held to a 2-2 draw by Sunderland on Saturday<\/a> but still hold a six-point advantage over second-placed Chelsea<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, Arsenal\u2019s advantage at the top of the Premier League will be cut to just four points if City beat Liverpool at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday afternoon<\/a>.<\/p>\n Guardiola believes he has seen an improvement in his City side, who have won eight of their last 10 games in all competitions, and while he admits Arsenal look \u2018unbelievable\u2019, the 54-year-old has dismissed any suggestion that the title race is already over.<\/p>\n \u2018I think we are learning to play better in different ways and still I have the feeling that defensively we are not, like I\u2019m dreaming of,\u2019 Guardiola said.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\tGet personalised updates on Arsenal everyday\t\t\t<\/p>\n Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro\u2019s Football Newsletter. <\/p>\n Sign up to our newsletter<\/a> and then select your team in the link we\u2019ll send you so we can get football news tailored to you.<\/p>\n \u2018We concede a few chances or goals, so we are in Premier League less than zero plus seven, six goals, so it\u2019s fine.<\/p>\n \t\t \u2018Of course we cannot compare ourselves, they [Arsenal] are unbelievable. I think we are learning to play better against different shapes, man-marking or low blocks or deep that at the beginning we struggled a little bit to read exactly what we had to do. And like I said one month ago, I have the feeling that we are getting better.<\/p>\n \u2018I said yesterday, the big teams, when you win, from my experience, when you arrive at the end of April, May, to win the titles is how much you grew up from September, October and every month. The teams who win are the teams who grow. And that I had a feeling that we are getting better.<\/p>\n \u2018That means you are not going to set back in some games? Yeah, it can happen. But if we are consistent in the way we defend and the way we play and read a little bit better. After that it\u2019s just body language, just passion and being to do it.<\/p>\n \u2018On Sunday we play against, right now, the champions. Arsenal is not the champion, the champion is Liverpool. They come here to defend the title. We experienced that.<\/p>\n \u2018And it\u2019s a chance to prove ourselves against the last champions of the Premier League, what is our level, and I\u2019m so excited to play.\u2019<\/p>\n For more stories like this,\u00a0check our sport page<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Follow Metro Sport for the latest news on Arrow Arrow Arrow![\"Soccer](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/SEI_273593820-ca38.jpg\")
