Pep Guardiola says he does not agree with Rodri and his comments about difference in mentality between Man City and Arsenal.

Pep Guardiola says he expects something similar to last season's 0-0 draw between Man City and Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium.

Pep Guardiola: “[William] Saliba and Gabriel, they are incredibly focussed with @Erling_Haaland all the time. It's not one-against-one, it's two-against-one, sometimes three-against-one. So that's why it's difficult to attack them.”

Pep Guardiola on Martin Odegaard's absence for Arsenal: “I am so sorry for him. Always I like to play against the biggest and toughest squad. Of course, he's an important player, but year by year as Arsenal get better, it's because they invest a lot in a deep squad.”

Pep Guardiola on Arsenal playing Thursday night in the UCL: “It's an advantage for Man City. But I'm going to make a list in the last eight years how many times we had this disadvantage against tough opponents, when we had less days of recovery. I have a HUGE list to show you!”

Pep Guardiola on Raheem Sterling to Arsenal: “I wish him all the best... We cannot understand the first years in my tenure at Man City without Raheem. He has been so important! I wish him all the best. Of course, I would prefer he doesn't perform well on Sunday.”

Pep Guardiola on Rodri's strike comments: “I agree with you, maybe for the first time, that many, many voices are talking about the players. I'm pretty sure that if something is going to change, always it must come from the players!”

Mikel Arteta: “We need to STOP @Erling_Haaland from scoring!” ⚽️🚫

Mikel Arteta: "When you see the stats and number of goals that @Erling_Haaland scores then you can tell he is one of the main sources. We always look at the individuals and the strengths that they have and how we can nullify that. We need to stop him from scoring..."

Mikel Arteta: “Away to Man City? It’s the home of the CHAMPIONS, the team that’s been THE MOST CONSISTENT IN HISTORY not just in terms of results but in terms of dominance!” 🔝

Happy 45th birthday to Richard Dunne! 🥳🇮🇪

Mikel Arteta on Kevin De Bruyne's potential absence for Man City vs. Arsenal: “They have the option of Gundogan, Bernardo, Phil Foden, Kovacic. All world-class. We have a few missing as well, we have to adapt. Those kinds of teams don't rely on one individual.”

How do you think tomorrow will play out? 🤔💬

Man City are considered favorites for victory against Arsenal on Sunday, winning in 52% of the Opta supercomputer’s pre-match simulations. 🔵

Pep Guardiola on whether he has ever set up for a 0-0 draw: “Sometimes, yeah… When you play shit, sometimes it’s a good result. When the opponent is better, sometimes it’s a good result.”

Pep Guardiola: “Mikel [Arteta] knows I’m not going to play for a 0-0, and I know he’s not going to play for a 0-0.”
