Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is feeling optimistic ahead of their upcoming Premier League match against league leaders Arsenal.
City closed the gap to just three points with a 3-1 victory over Leicester, and Guardiola believes his team is well-positioned to strike.
Although Arsenal have two league games before their showdown with City, Guardiola thinks they are unlikely to drop many points.
City secured their 10th consecutive victory in all competitions, with John Stones opening the scoring and Erling Haaland adding a double to his remarkable tally of 47 goals from 40 appearances this season.
Leicester’s Kelechi Iheanacho pulled one back, but City’s success never seemed in doubt.
Guardiola made just three changes to the team following their midweek win over Bayern Munich, believing that maintaining momentum was important.
Haaland’s double equalled the record for 32 goals in a 38-game Premier League season, and Guardiola wants him to break all possible records.
Leicester’s new manager, Dean Smith, saw enough character in his players despite suffering their ninth game without a win.
