The rivalry between Manchester City and Arsenal is heating up following their recent 2-2 draw, with Pep Guardiola taking aim at Mikel Arteta over the latter’s claims of having inside information about the Citizens.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The match was marred by controversy, with Arsenal<\/a> facing criticism for their defensive tactics in the second half and Rodri suffering a season-ending injury.<\/p>\n

Man City defender John Stones accused Arsenal of employing “dirty” tactics, prompting Arteta<\/a> to defend his team and claim that he had “all the information” from his time as Guardiola’s assistant at City.<\/p>\n

Guardiola was not pleased with Arteta’s comments, especially given the ongoing legal proceedings against Man City<\/a> over alleged financial irregularities.<\/p>\n

\n

Pep Guardiola asked about Mikel Arteta\u2019s comments: \u201cDID HE SAY THAT?! Mikel has to be MORE CLEAR on exactly what info he knows. Maybe about the 115 charges – I don\u2019t know?! HOPEFULLY NEXT TIME HE CAN ANSWER *EXACTLY* WHAT HE MEANS!\u201d \ud83e\udee8<\/p>\n
