Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola insists neither he or opposite number Mikel Arteta will be playing for a draw when Arsenal travel to the Etihad on Sunday

Pep Guardiola feels some of Manchester City’s detractors want to see the club wiped “from the face of the Earth”. City are facing the threat of a points deduction or even expulsion from the Premier League after being charged with 115 breaches of the competition’s regulations following an investigation into their financial affairs.

Guardiola feels it is too soon to be drawing any long-term conclusions from the game and is more concerned about setting the tone for City’s campaign.
