Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola has revealed that it will be difficult to wrestle Arsenal from the top of the Premier League table.
Guardiola stated this ahead of his side’s game against Leeds United.
The champions resume their Premier League campaign after the World Cup break on Wednesday.
“After our defeat against Brentford and with how strong Arsenal are, as well as the opponents who come from behind, we have to be alert and careful,” said Guardiola after Arsenal defeated West Hhm on Boxing Day.
“If the distance is bigger, it will be so difficult to catch them.
“We have Leeds and then it’s non-stop. Our schedule in January is terrible in terms of the amount of games and the quality of the opponents. So, we have to restart. This is what we did against Liverpool [in the EFL Cup] and hopefully we can continue.”
