EPL: Arteta responds to Guardiola’s comment on favourite team to win title

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has waved aside Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola’s title mind games.

Arteta insisted that the Gunners are just focusing on taking each day as they come.

Arsenal beat Fulham 3-0 on Sunday with Leandro Trossard setting up each of Gabriel Magalhaes, Gabriel Martinelli and Martin Odegaard goals.

A day earlier, Manchester City managed to beat Crystal Palace with Erling Haaland finding the back of the net from the penalty spot.

Shortly after the Man City game Guardiola claimed Arsenal were still big favourites for the title.

Asked about Guardiola’s comments, Arteta responded: “I don’t know.

“We just discuss what we discuss internally: to be really humble, to work on the next training session and try to be better every day.

“This is our focus. There is still a huge part of the season to be completed.”
