MARTIN KEOWN: Manchester City's game at Arsenal is massive for Pep Guardiola - it is a chance to show that he’s still the top dog after last weekend's defeat

Daily Mail  

At the start of Arsenal’s 2002-03 season, Arsene Wenger told us he thought we had what it takes to go unbeaten over the entire campaign. Arsenal managed it — we became the Invincibles the following season under Wenger — and Pep Guardiola will have been relieved to see how his Manchester City team responded when they went to RB Leipzig in the Champions League in midweek. This is a massive match between last season’s top two Premier League teams — it is a chance for one to stamp their authority on the other. Guardiola’s City want to show why they’re still top dogs, despite their uncharacteristic defeats of late, while Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal will want to show how far they’ve come since last season. Pep Guardiola will be keen to prove he is still top dog when Manchester City take on Arsenal Mikel Arteta's side will leapfrog City in the Premier League table if they are victorious in Sunday's game
