Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has stated that he hopes Arsenal will concede goals soon.

Guardiola was speaking following their 3-1 victory against Bournemouth on Sunday.

Erling Haaland scored twice as City cut the distance between themselves and Arsenal to six points.

Arsenal have been in stunning form lately and are yet to concede in seven matches across all competitions.

When asked if his team could sniff the title, Guardiola replied: “Well, hopefully, Arsenal can concede one goal one day. It is not easy for them.bIt’s just 10 games, there are 28 more to play and many, many things will happen.”

City host Liverpool next weekend in what could be a crucial fixture in the title race.
