Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola, has named Liverpool as his side’s biggest English rivals, snubbing last season’s title race rivals Arsenal.
According to Guardiola, the Reds will always be his biggest rival ahead of last season’s title race rivals Arsenal.
Speaking in a recent interview with Sky Sports, Guardiola said: “When I finish my career in England, Liverpool will have been my rival, our rival. Always.”
When asked where Arsenal fit in the rankings, the Spaniard continued: “Now, they will start to be there, and last season. But before, they were not there, to win the FA Cups, the title.
“They did not play in the Champions League. It’s the first season they are playing now in many, many years.
“So the [main] rivals have been Liverpool. But now, they [Arsenal] have knocked on the door and they are here and they arrived to stay, and Newcastle, and other teams.”
