Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has started playing mind games with the Premier League title race after insisting momentum hasn’t shifted from Arsenal to his team.
The Manchester City manager is skilled at playing mind games and his side is now the obvious favourite to win the league after they regained the top spot, even though Arsenal has a game in hand.
Mikel Arteta’s side has not won any of their last three league games, which is not representative of the form of a team that can win the league.
We are in the most critical stage of the season and it is easy to see that City now has momentum.
However, when asked about it, Guardiola said as quoted by the Daily Mail:
‘Arsenal has one game in hand – nothing has changed much. Momentum is when you win 10 games in a row. We haven’t done that this season.’
Just Arsenal Opinion
Every manager would not want to put pressure on their players and Arteta will do the same if asked about the title race.
We do not need to listen to Pep. The most important thing now is that we win as many matches as possible so that we can end the term in a good position.

Off Topic: Lee Mason has left PGMOL by mutual consent.
I think I know what that means, reading between the lines…
Too many “mistakes” when Arsenal’s playing.
One thing I always wondered is how VAR referees are assigned to games. Do they express a preference for the games they’d like to do?
I wonder (*genuinely* wonder, I’m not saying it’s true)… if Mr Webb noticed that Mr Mason always put his name down for Arsenal games… and his mistakes were in those games.
If you are insinuating hat Lee Mason is biased, I am in complete disagreement.
If you are telling me he is not upto the mark,I am in agreement here.
In the Brentford game I still do not understand why the linesmen did not flag as he had 2 instances to do so and VAR is not the only thing to blame here.
Is the linesmen also suspended?
I am of the opinion he is biased, everyone is biased towards something or someone, we can always try to be professional and not been biased but in his case he has been more biased than professional
Also OT (sorry to hijack the thread):
Confirmed that a Qatari bank has bid to take over Man Utd.
The game is becoming less of a level playing field almost day by day.
It’s no more a level playing field.The epl etter be called
ENGLISH MONEY SOCCER LEAGUE.
For Arsenal to win the epl it has to fight heavy odds against the moneyed interest in the game ie var ,refs,etc
Against AV,if the gunners continue to pussyfoot around the box,they won’t score and could lose.
Wolves went for speed and scored three times vs Pool
Funny how fans are holding unto straws
Arsenal have spent alot of money aswel
Mind games? Pep was just telling the truth, we are level on points with a game in hand and they are only ahead on goal difference. We are the team that have shown consistency up to now but having said that, today’s game is the now pivotal season defining game for us.
