Manager Josep Guardiola did not even attend the match between Arsenal and Liverpool, insisting that his Manchester City side must focus on their own result and not their title rivals. The Gunners failed to take advantage of City’s draw with Brighton, missing out on the three points against the Reds.<\/p>\n
Guardiola admitted Arsenal’s drop in points was a bonus, but insisted it meant little if his team did not get back to winning ways. The Citizens had stalemates against Sunderland and Chelsea before facing the Seagulls, but their last three games have ended in draws.<\/p>\n
Arsenal currently hold a six-point lead over City and are aiming to win their first title in over 20 years. Guardiola’s side are known for their impressive winning streak that ensured them winning the Premier League, but the Catalan manager believes they need to continue to improve if they are to establish themselves as favorites.<\/p>\n
Guardiola said he didn’t watch the 0-0 draw between Arsenal and Liverpool. And he admitted, “It would be better if they dropped points, but if you’re going to analyze that, you better think about ourselves.<\/p>\n
“It would be a mistake to think about them. We have always found a way to win games. We drew the last three games, but I’m not questioning the process. But we will find a way.”<\/p>\n

“A draw is fair, a loss is fair. We have to do better. Six points is better than eight, but we have to win games to be favorites. Everything is open.”<\/p>\n
“As I said before, this is a process of growing as a team. A lot of our players have never been to a finals. We’re very optimistic and happy that a lot of things are going really well.”<\/p>\n
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta praised his side after a tough list of matches, but expressed disappointment that his side were unable to extend their advantage.<\/p>\n

The Spanish manager believes the north London side deserve credit for overcoming a number of challenges in recent weeks and standing strong despite a number of fitness concerns. Asked whether Liverpool’s stalemate felt like a setback, Arteta said: “Yeah, whenever you can’t win.<\/p>\n
“But then we could have been leading by 12, 15 or even 20 points. I have to give a lot of credit to the team and the players individually for what they’ve done over this Christmas period. It’s unbelievable because of the demands and the schedule.”<\/p>\n
“And I think what they’ve accomplished is amazing. So I think they deserve my credit and everyone’s credit for coming out of this period in the position we’re in, in our strong position, with all the problems we had.”<\/p>\n
Arteta went on to highlight what he is most proud of. “It’s their desire to win and the consistency they’re showing,” he said.<\/p>\n
“I think what they’re doing is great given the schedule they have in front of them and the circumstances they have to deal with.<\/p>\n
“We want to continue to improve and learn and every game is an opportunity to do that. So let’s keep that in mind as we play against the real champions tonight. They’re a great team and today we have to reflect on that. We have another game on Sunday and we’ll go again tomorrow.”<\/p>\n
