Pep Guardiola insists Man City clash with Arsenal will not decide title race

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola is not viewing Sunday’s clash with Arsenal as the chance to lay down an early marker in the title race.

The champions have the chance to open up a five-point lead over the Gunners, their closest challengers in the past two seasons, with victory in their Premier League encounter at the Etihad Stadium.

Yet Guardiola feels it is too soon to be drawing any long-term conclusions from the game and is more concerned about setting the tone for City’s campaign.

Guardiola said: “At an early stage of the season, it is nothing more than the mood for the next games. “In terms of the table it isn’t very important.
