Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola, has claimed Arsenal have taller players than those in his squad.
Guardiola, speaking to the media on Friday, also said the Gunners’ defensive transitions are quicker than City’s offensive transitions.
The Spaniard was previewing the Super Sunday’s clash at the Etihad.
Guardiola has said that he expects a similar game to last season that ended goalless.
He said: “I expect the game to be similar [to last season].
“To score goals, you can score from many different aspects. From set-pieces it’s not easy but they are so tall, taller than us.
“In the transitions, their defensive transitions are quicker than our offensive transitions.
“When we are able to set them back, they accumulate a lot of players, the strikers go to holding midfielders.”
