Pep Guardiola insists he "couldn't care less" about Arsenal's stumble letting Manchester City back into the Premier League title race. Guardiola's side were in danger of being blown away by Arsenal after their inconsistent form left the Gunners in pole position. But second-placed City have been handed a lifeline by Arsenal's damaging draws against Wolves and Brentford. 

They are now just five points behind Arsenal with a game in hand and a home match against Mikel Arteta's men to come in April. If City win their remaining 12 matches they will be crowned champions for the fifth time in the last six seasons. But Guardiola is not getting carried away by the opportunity. Instead, he remains focused on Saturday's visit from Newcastle, when a win would close the gap on Arsenal to two points before the Gunners face Tottenham in the north London derby on Sunday.
