Pep Guardiola said Manchester City will play down their Premier League game at Arsenal as he declared Champions League qualification the most important target of the month.
City's trip to the Emirates is one of the most high-profile fixtures in the calendar as the top two from last season collide for the first time to see who can get the early advantage in the race to this year's title.
Both sides have started promisingly, and each know that three points on Sunday will see them above their rivals heading into the October international break.
Guardiola knows how much hype there will be around the game, but suggested that the squad will not be embracing that as they prepare for the game.
