Pep Guardiola, the manager of Manchester City, has acknowledged that Arsenal is a superior team.

This was said by Guardiola during his press conference on Wednesday before the team's matchup against Tottenham at home.

Eight points ahead of City, the Gunners currently lead the Premier League.

Guardiola has since stated that he cannot afford to let the situation at the top of the table make him complacent.

“It’s better [being eight points ahead]; you can drop points."

“If you are behind, you cannot drop points."

“Pressure is the next game; we can’t think about it other than winning the next." After the conditions dictate, if they’re good in all departments, they’ll be there.

“They [Arsenal] are better than us so far." There are many games to play. Don’t think about it, catch Liverpool who was in front in the last years, just think the next game and see what happens.

Manchester City have been in this position [in the #PL] many times in the past. "I've never been relaxed, even with eight points in front,” Guardiola said.
