Arteta is once again on the radar to take over at Arsenal

Arteta was on the verge of landing the Emirates hot seat before Unai Emery was appointed in summer 2018 and he is now in the frame again.

Guardiola said: “I said many times with my players, staff, they’re free to do what they want to do.

“With Mikel, it’s about being a friend, I want the best for him.

“What I want is that we stay together this season and next season but I don’t know what’s best for him.

He said: “I often speak with Mikel but I don’t know his future plans. We want to protect him and hopefully he can stay with us.”

Guardiola and Arteta have won back-to-back league titles together at City, but the champions currently find themselves nine points behind leaders Liverpool.

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City: Reds fail to go seven points clear of Manchester City with lacklustre draw

Image
http://bit.ly/2GbpR4P Liverpool missed a golden opportunity to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after only managing a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester. Following Manchester City’s defeat at Newcastle last night, the Reds could have put themselves in a commanding position at the summit and got off to the perfect start when Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead after just two minutes. But the Reds were lacklustre and let Leicester back in it when Harry Maguire took advantage of some slack defending to equalise just before the break.
