Arsenal finally managed to record a rare victory over City when they won the reverse fixture at the Emirates Stadium earlier this season.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has hailed Pep Guardiola as “the best coach in the world” as the close friends prepare for a potentially seismic game in the Premier League title battle this weekend.
Now though, they will once again be in opposite dugouts as Arteta prepares to lock horns with a manager he believes is without rival.“My admiration and what I feel for him certainly hasn’t. In my opinion he’s the best coach in the world by a mile and he’s one of the nicest people that I’ve met in football.
Arteta confirmed forwards Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli could feature having missed the international break with minor injuries, while Gabriel Magalhaes is also expected to be fit enough to start.
