‘I Learn A Lot From Arsenal’ — Guardiola Admits

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has heaped praise on Arsenal ahead of their crucial Premier League showdown, admitting he enjoys watching the team and learns from their style of play.

Speaking before Sunday’s clash at the Etihad, Guardiola said he holds Mikel Arteta’s side in high regard despite criticism over their reliance on set-pieces.

Arsenal currently lead the table by six points and remain in contention for both the league title and the UEFA Champions League, where they face Atlético Madrid in the semi-finals.

Despite recent struggles in open play, Guardiola insisted the Gunners possess a unique quality and mentality that makes them strong title contenders.
