Arsenal has gotten under Manchester City’s skin in what has fast become the new big rivalry in English soccer.

Manchester City are set to play two games in a less than 48 hours due to Manchester United 's Europa League commitments. Pep Guardiola 's men battled to a hard-fought 2-2 draw against Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday when John Stones' 98th-minute goal secured a point in a fiercely contested title tilt.

According to Pep Guardiola, Manchester City ’s rivals want the club “wiped off the face of the Earth.” Everyone, he says, wants City to be punished in a way no Premier League club has ever been punished before. And, though he doesn’t mention Arsenal by name, it doesn’t feel like a wild stab in the dark to suspect they are uppermost in his thinking.
