Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has claimed that Arsenal have had it “easy” in the Premier League title race.
The Spaniard stated this ahead of Sunday’s crunch meeting at the Etihad.
City and the Gunners clash with only one point separating the two sides.
Guardiola has now suggested Arsenal have something to prove and claims the Gunners benefit from “something special” as they seek a first Premier League title since 2004.
He told the UK Guardian: “To fight for one title that you haven’t won for many years is “wow, it is easy.”
“We have been here for many, many years – and we are still there.
“I have said it a 1000 million times, the biggest success of this club is that after many years still we are there – and people cannot imagine how difficult it is.
“We are the benchmark for the new generations in this club because (what we have done) is really really good.”
