Arteta feels City remain the team to beat but Guardiola believes it is his former City assistant who holds the upper hand.

“A team with 50 points in one leg (half of the season) is the best.

“We have to prove how far away or how close we are. The best way is to perform at our best level, otherwise it will be difficult,” Guardiola told the press on Thursday.
