"I was lucky because I was playing against unbeaten Arsenal team in St James Park. Of course, we all wanted the 3 points and the first club to break the unbeaten run. Manchester City is a team that I love to watch in the premier league because their gameplay is good but I believe if Pep Guardiola has the Arsenal squad during that time, Arsenal will not only maintain their unbeaten run but they might break more records.
