Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has played down his game management skills.

Guardiola has explained his use of Bernardo Silva during victory at Arsenal.

"It was because I defended with narrow wingers instead of wide ones," said the manager.

"If it succeeds, I am brave. If not, then people will say I'm overthinking and arrogant. People say 'what is he thinking when he changes tactics? Why doesn't Kevin De Bruyne play all the time? Why doesn't he play with the others?'

"De Bruyne cannot play all the time. He has to be healthy and he has to understand that he can always get better. Sometimes he has to sit out."
