Pep Guardiola hasn't forgotten the last time Manchester City beat Arsenal to take a big step forward in the Premier League title race.
City completed the double over Arsenal this week to move to within two points of the Gunners with two games in hand. After being as far as eight points behind Arsenal earlier in the campaign, City have been able to take control of the title race, but Guardiola is keen for them to back up their big win when they travel to Fulham on Sunday.
After picking up a vital three points at the Emirates Stadium in February, City immediately gave Arsenal a chance to put more distance between the sides when the Blues dropped points at Nottingham Forest in the next game.
After besting Arsenal again, Guardiola is keen for his players to follow that up with three points to temporarily move top of the table and strike another psychological blow.
