Manchester City star Bernardo Silva has only positive words for Premier League title rivals Arsenal.

The Gunners are at the top of the Premier League, but are being hunted by champions City.

Despite a healthy five point lead, Arsenal know they must still play City home and away in the league.

"We knew there was a possibility of a huge growth at Arsenal this season," Silva said.

"They have a very good manager and lots of young players full of desire to win.

"It doesn't surprise me. Let's wait to see what happens in their match tomorrow but it's fair to say our draws this season have been hard!"
