The friendship between Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola and Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta could come under strain with the rivalry between their title-chasing Premier League clubs intensifying in recent days. Arteta seems certain the relationship won’t be damaged but Guardiola might have gotten irritated.

Guardiola was speaking Friday in a news conference that took place about the same time as Arteta was holding one at Arsenal’s training base. “If our relationship was damaged because one draws and the other one wins or the amount of times that they’ve beaten us, I would not talk to him any more. So that’s not our relationship, especially the relationship that I consider both of us have. In sport it will never get in my way, a personal relationship, that’s for sure.”
