Pep Guardiola has issued a stark warning to Arsenal, insisting Manchester City can still catch their title rivals despite sitting six points behind. The City manager made the bold claim after his side's dramatic 2-1 comeback victory over Liverpool, with late goals from Bernardo Silva and Erling Haaland overturning Dominik Szoboszlai's opener.

Guardiola emphasized that with 13 games remaining, including crucial fixtures against Arsenal and in cup competitions, the title race remains wide open. The City boss pointed to the mounting pressure of a title run-in, potential injuries, and the challenges posed by teams fighting relegation as factors that could influence the outcome. His comments came after City secured their first league double over Liverpool in 89 years.

The victory keeps City firmly in contention, with the potential to close the gap to just three points if they defeat Fulham before Arsenal's match against Brentford. Guardiola's tactical masterclass and his team's resilience in securing late goals demonstrate why City remain formidable contenders despite the points deficit. The Catalan manager's warning serves as a psychological boost to his players while potentially unsettling their title rivals.

With City hosting Arsenal later in the season, Guardiola's message is clear: the champions are not conceding the title race. His team's ability to secure crucial wins under pressure, combined with the unpredictable nature of the remaining fixtures, means Arsenal cannot afford any slip-ups in their pursuit of the Premier League crown. Quick Fact: Manchester City can move within three points of Arsenal with a win over Fulham.
