And then there were two.

Last season's top two clubs are the only ones to remain undefeated through six Premier League matches 😤

🆕 JOIN

Pep Guardiola on Eddie Howe & @Newcastle_united: “I said to him how I admire him and for the way they approached the game, in high-pressing, so direct.

They have a lot of legs with [Jacob] Murphy, [Anthony] Gordon, [Harvey] Barnes - we controlled them really, really well in the most part of the game, especially when we play so, so high. Bruno [Guimaraes], and Joelinton, the physicality, [Sandro] Tonali, and after the central defenders so high. It's such a difficult team.“

Pep Guardiola: “@Newcastle_united last season struggled a little bit for just one reason; a lot of injuries. Otherwise that team competes really well.

(On Eddie Howe) A manager for many years, a lot of times, and never creates a problem in press conferences, always polite for opponents, like we try to do as a Club.

I admit that we would like to win, we draw, they deserve it as well, and we both take the point.”

Mateo Kovacic: “This is a team that wants to win every game, so when you draw it's never nice.”

“A young player [Josko Gvardiol] that has great potential and is playing on a high level, and I think today was a great goal from him. Jack Grealish with the assist with a great ball.”

“He [Rodri] has our energy, he needs it to be calm with family, recover well. It's not easy to have such an injury. I hope he copes well, with family and friends around him, and we're waiting for him as soon and as good as possible.”

Today’s 1-1 draw against @Newcastle_United ended a run of 14 consecutive Premier League games in which Man City had scored multiple goals. ⛔️

This was the joint-second longest such run in the competition’s history (Liverpool 15 between March and September 2019). ⚽️

Mikel Arteta on Pep Guardiola: "I've admired him since I was 10 years old. I respect him profoundly. I'm so grateful for everything he did for me and continues to do for me.

“If someone wants to damage the relationship, that's not in my hands. The feeling [of affection] is profound. [Pep Guardiola] knows it, the Man City staff know it because I still [speak] with them today, and with the board, the ownership – with everyone…”

Embargoed press conference: Part two of Pep Guardiola's @Newcastle_United review is coming up shortly. 🚨

Pep Guardiola: “The [building up of] fitness is playing, but Phil Foden doesn’t need time when he’s here [in the mind] clever and fine. It’s not a problem. I know how important is Phil for Man City, so there is no doubt about that.”

Pep Guardiola: “It doesn’t matter if Phil Foden starts or comes on from the bench. With this amount of games, he will have his minutes, that’s for sure.”

Pep Guardiola on Ilkay Gundogan: “It will take time [to get back to his best]. He didn’t make a pre-season, and he needs to do the rhythm but he gives you something also special. Of course he will take it.”
