Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has conveyed his confidence that his team can still reduce the gap between themselves and Premier League leaders Arsenal.
City now trails the Gunners by six points after suffering a 1-0 defeat against Aston Villa on Sunday.
In contrast, Arsenal secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace at the Emirates Stadium.
Guardiola’s squad had previously gone nine matches unbeaten across all competitions before their loss at Villa Park.
This result left City in fifth place, positioned behind Arsenal, Bournemouth, Tottenham, and Sunderland.
However, Guardiola possesses extensive experience in title races, having orchestrated six championship wins during his nine years at City, and he is not ready to give up.
“We have to try to close the gap,” Guardiola stated.
“Arsenal has been solid for many years. I’m focused on how we can improve as a team and stay competitive. From my experience, the season is lengthy. This is my experience.”
“There are many teams in contention. Bournemouth is performing exceptionally well, along with the others, and we’ll strive to execute our game plan.”
