Pep Guardiola says Arsenal should ‘not be relaxed’ despite their four-point lead at the top of the Premier LeaguePep Guardiola insists he would prefer Manchester City to be in Arsenal’s position in the Premier League table. City maintained the pressure on Arsenal with a 3-0 win at home to Fulham this week before Mikel Arteta’s side were held to a 1-1 draw by Brentford. The stalemate still leaves Arsenal at the top of the Premier League but their lead is now just four points. Arteta’s men have registered just two wins in their last six Premier League games and doubts have been raised over whether the Gunners can last the pace. Guardiola is adamant that Arsenal should ‘not be relaxed’ but believes Arteta and his team still have the advantage.
