Pep Guardiola celebrated a 1-0 FA Cup victory over Arsenal on Friday night but dismissed suggestions Manchester City’s 1-0 win will have any impact on the Premier League title race.

Mikel Arteta’s Gunners are five points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table, with the Gunners having a game in hand.

Manchester City head to the Emirates on February 15 for a Premier League clash with the Gunners but Guardiola said he did not think FA Cup victory over Arsenal will have any bearing.

“I am pretty sure both teams are going to adjust something,” Guardiola said. “I have the feeling now they are going to do something differently.”
