‘It Is Dangerous For Manchester City To Face Arsenal Now’- Pep Guardiola

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says it is still a “dangerous moment” to face an out-of-form Arsenal ahead of their Super Sunday clash.

Some Arsenal fans have recently displayed banners calling for Arsene Wenger to leave the club this summer when his contract expires, although the Frenchman said his future “has not been sorted completely” yet.

City visit the Emirates on Super Sunday, live on Sky Sports 1, to meet an Arsenal side who have lost four out of their last five Premier League games, but Guardiola is expecting a tough encounter and believes a wounded Gunners side will make for a much more dangerous opponent.

“When you lose a lot of games it is a more dangerous moment to face them. I would prefer Arsenal to be winning a lot,” Guardiola said.

“They are so professional, Arsene is so professional and the Arsenal players as well. They want to win every game, so I don’t think it is a big problem.

“Everybody knows them. Huge quality in the middle, quality in the sides with Alexis [Sanchez], go inside with perfect runs in behind with [Theo] Walcott, [Alex] Oxlade-Chamberlain. Good quality. Arsenal is a top team.

“When Arsene starts to win, the fans will be happy again, I promise you, 100 per cent. The fans respect what Arsene has done and is doing, whatever the bosses decide, I’m sure it will be the best for Arsenal.”
