Pep Guardiola: 'Manchester City won't match Arsenal invincible season'

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has reiterated that his side have no chance of going through the entire Premier League campaign without suffering defeat.

On Sunday afternoon, City host Arsenal - the last team to achieve the feat during the 2003-04 season - at the Etihad Stadium with a five-point lead at the top of the standings.

Talk persists about whether City can continue with their recent run of form, but Guardiola has played down any claims that his side are capable of avoiding a league setback until May.

The 46-year-old told reporters: "I would like to say to Arsene, this record belongs to him.

"We are not going to break it. We are beatable. I don't know when, but someone is going to beat us."

City have not suffered a defeat in a competitive game since losing to Arsenal after extra time in the FA Cup semi-finals in April.
