MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has warned that Arsenal will be tough to catch in the Premier League title race and that 100 points could be required to retain their crown.
Arsenal, managed by Guardiola's former assistant Mikel Arteta, could have moved 10 points clear of the champions on Tuesday but drew 0-0 at home to Newcastle United.
"The way you have to reduce the gap is play good and win games," Guardiola told a news conference on Wednesday. "If they continue in that way, we will not catch them. We have to be almost perfect from here and hope they drop their performance -- yesterday they were excellent against Newcastle -- and see what happens."
Most people would have expected Chelsea to be part of the title race, but City visit Stamford Bridge with Graham Potter's side languishing in the 10th place in the standings.Asked for his thoughts on Chelsea's struggles, the Spaniard said:"It's the Premier League, everyone is tough. That's why the predictions at the start of the season always my answer is I don't know. Nobody knows.
