Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola spoke further about the Premier League title race
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola further reflected on the ongoing Premier League title race against Arsenal. The Spaniard claimed that he is unsure whether the Gunners' schedule will play a part.
Speaking to the media ahead of the Leicester City showdown, Guardiola said (via Manchester Evening News):
"Honestly I don't know [whether Arsenal's schedule will play a factor]. Sometimes I will experience every four days games and we are in a rythmn and this helps us. We will play a lot of competitions to the end and it helps us. Sometimes we play one week lose the rythmn when it is a week."
He added:
"Sometimes when we play Saturday Tuesday, the minds of the players are always in here. If we have one week or two days off we lose this rythmn. In six or seven weeks it is over and the players will do everything to keep going."
Manchester City are the current defending champions. Arsenal, meanwhile, are looking to win the league for the first time since 2003-04.
