Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola says Arsenal's recent run was something he expected.
Guardiola was not in the least surprised that Arsenal recovered from their 3-1 defeat to City with successive victories to move five points clear at the top.
We knew it when we won a tight game versus Arsenal," he said.
The game after we draw 1-1. I expect Arsenal to win three games in a row.
In the first part of the season they made 50 points so you expect they can make a lot of points and win a lot of games.
The way we played after Arsenal was really good, we could not win all the games because football is like that.
Arsenal are in their position because they deserve it. They are many games left to play.
Many things are going to happen."
