Pep Guardiola: “I’d Rather Be in Arsenal’s Shoes”

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has admitted he envies Arsenal’s current standing at the top of the Premier League.

Despite the Gunners dropping points in a 1-1 draw with Brentford, they maintain a four-point cushion over City.

As Pep prepares for an FA Cup clash with Salford, he made his stance clear: “I’d prefer their position over ours.

If I had a four-point lead with 12 games to go, I wouldn’t be relaxed—but being four points behind? I’m even less relaxed.”
