Ahead of Arsenal's Premier League clash against Leicester City, Gunners boss Mikel Arteta made an ambiguous comment that seems to have irked Guardiola.

"I was there for four years. I have all the information. So I know. Believe me,” Arteta said when asked about Arsenal's use of the dark arts via Manchester Evening News.

Guardiola responded to his former colleague.

"Next time he has to be more clear exactly what does it mean," he said.

The Man City boss also fired back at Arsenal defender Gabriel, who said it was a "war" when Erling Haaland threw the ball on his head, per GOAL.

"You want a war? Now we war. So, what do I have to do? And after the motion, try the motion. I'm pretty sure he's not proud, but listen. The type of challenge that Arsenal challenges, I understand it."
