Pep rates Arsenal's EPL chances

Guardiola has not shied away from discussing Arsenal's impressive run of form, and recently shared his insights on their chances of winning the Premier League title.

Speaking ahead of City's clash against Chelsea on Thursday night, the Spaniard heaped praise on the Gunners, claiming they could potentially rack up 100 points if they maintain the current momentum.

“Arsenal have an average that means they are going to do 100 — or more than 100 points. If they continue that way, we will not catch them," Guardiola said via The Sun.

“So we have to be almost perfect from here until the end of the season and hope that they drop a little bit, their performance," he added.
