Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has sent a strong message to Arsenal ahead of their English Premier League showdown, saying his team is now stronger following the return of an important player. Guardiola expressed confidence that City are better prepared and more balanced than before, which he believes gives them an edge going into the match.

Speaking to reporters, Guardiola explained that the player’s return has improved the team’s depth, fitness, and tactical options. He noted that injuries had earlier affected City’s consistency, but the squad is now healthier and more competitive, allowing them to rotate players without losing quality on the pitch.

Guardiola also praised Arsenal for being a strong and organised side but insisted that Manchester City are ready for the challenge. He said his players are motivated and focused, adding that the team understands the importance of the fixture in the title race and will approach it with full concentration.

The City boss warned Arsenal that they should expect a more dangerous Manchester City this time around. With confidence rising and key players back in action, Guardiola believes his side is in a strong position to push for victory and continue their campaign at the top of the Premier League table.
