  • There is virtually nothing separating the two teams at the top of the standings after their meeting

Pep Guardiola believes there are three other teams that can win the Premier League title this season ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal.

The Premier League title race has been shaped around City and Arsenal, who have barely anything to separate them at the top of the charts.

Mikel Arteta's charges have been topping the table for weeks now, but a recent slump has seen them lose their grip at the summit.

Pep's says race is not over

Speaking ahead of Man City's trip to the Emirates, Pep Guardiola insisted that the title race is far from over.

According to the Spaniard, Newcastle and Man United are the other teams that can challenge Arsenal and City for the crown.

"Yeah, they are there. There are a lot of points to play for," Guardiola said via Metro UK when he was asked if he regards Newcastle and Man United as title rivals.
"We don’t know what can happen in the next weeks. I always have the feeling, especially now with European competitions back and FA Cup around the corner, the last eight to ten games are going to decide the title," he added.

Wenger gives Arsenal title advice

Sports Brief earlier reported on ex-Arsenal boss, Arsene Wenger advising the team that now is the time to win the title, as there will be more competition next term.

Though the Gunners are losing their footing by allowing rivals to catch up, the legendary manager believes there is a way to win the title for the first time since 2004.

Should Arsenal have beaten Man City on Wednesday night, they would have opened their lead at the top to six points with a game in hand.
