Man City aim to put destiny in their hands with win over Arsenal: Guardiola

The Hindu  

Manchester City has the momentum going into Wednesday’s top-of-the-table Premier League clash at home to Arsenal and manager Pep Guardiola believes it is because the players know how to pace themselves so that they peak at the right time. A win over Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium would close the gap to two points and “put destiny in our hands”, Guardiola said. “To have the chance in our hands, they have it in their hands too, because if they win it depends on them - the destiny will be in their hands - but if we win it’s in ours.” City have beaten Arsenal in the last seven meetings in all competitions and the Gunners have not won at The Etihad since 2015. We have more games to play but we can’t deny how important it is.” Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said earlier on Tuesday that his side would need “absolute perfection in every single ball” to beat the reigning champion but Guardiola refuted that. “Perfection doesn’t exist in football,” he said, but added, “The way play against so many teams, we have to be really good to impose our game.
