Pep Guardiola watches Arsenal vs Liverpool admission and top-of-the-table claim amid Manchester City win. The statement of Pep Guardiola before today's match Liverpool vs Arsenal.
Guardiola admitted that he will keep an eye on the match between Arsenal and Liverpool after the victory of Manchester City at the top of the English Premier League.
Premier League leader
The champions lead the table after Saturday's 4-0 win over Southampton, in which Erling Haaland scored his fifteenth league goal in just nine games for the club.
Arsenal has played one game less and is just two points behind City, who can move past them with a win against Juergen Klopp on Sunday.
In an interview on BBC Sport after City's win, Pep Guardiola said: "the result is great, we are playing well so far. We were able to break their intense pressure. Last season we suffered a lot playing against them, but today we were much the best.
Joao Cancelo, Phil Foden, and Riyad Mahrez also got on the scoresheet, although their time at the top of the table is likely to be short-lived.
Guardiola rejects Messi comparison and praises Manchester City stars for accepting Haaland's interest
Pep Guardiola will not tire of talking about Erling Haaland, but he stresses that comparisons with Lionel Messi are not welcome.
The Manchester City striker coach has promised Haaland a vacation during the World Cup as Norway failed to qualify, and he could definitely use a break after an exciting start to his career in England.
Haaland has already scored an incredible 14 goals in eight games in the Premier League, and Mohamed Salah has scored 32 goals in a 38-game season that already appears to be in serious jeopardy. Kevin De Bruyne was City's top scorer last season with 15 goals.
Haaland, the former Borussia Dortmund striker, kept himself healthy and the goals came pouring in, just as City's title rivals had feared.
At this rate, Haaland could finish the season with the kind of superiority Messi often displayed in his early years at Barcelona, when he regularly scored over 50 goals in all competitions.
Arsenal vs. Liverpool
Arsenal, led by Spaniard Mikel Arteta, plays against Liverpool and has 21 points from 8 games, in which there were 7 wins and only one defeat, and hopes to continue the good results of the team since the beginning of the current season and continue to be at the top of the English table.
In the match against Liverpool, Arteta issues the slogan that there is no alternative to winning to remain at the top of the Premier League in the games of the current season, given the fierce competition with Manchester City for the top of the table.
While Liverpool, led by German manager Juergen Klopp, hopes to shine again in the upcoming games of the English Premier League to draw level with Arsenal and City in the fight for the title, especially after the last draw against Brighton in the last round at Anfield Road, with 3 goals each.
Liverpool has only 10 points on the account, which has led them to stay away from the playing zone with the adults, and the Reds want to win today against Arsenal to get out of their situation, which does not match their history and not their numbers in recent years, to enter the Golden Quadrangle and fight for the title.
The expected Liverpool lineup against Arsenal looked like this
- Goalkeeper: Alison.
- Defensive line: Virgil van Dijk, Matip, Tsimikas, Trent Alexander-Arnold.
- Midfield: Thiago Alcantara, Henderson, Luis Diaz.
- Attacking line: Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, Darwin Nunez.
Arsenal is expected to start the match with the following lineup
- Goalkeeper: Ramsdale.
- Back line: Oleksandr Zinchenko, Gabriel, William Saliba, Ben White.
- Midfield: Granit Xhaka, Thomas Barty, Bukayo Ska.
- Offensive line: Martin Odegaard, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli.
