Mikel Arteta’s side kept their momentum at the top of the Premier League with a 3-2 victory over Tottenham in the north London derby on Sunday afternoon.
City, meanwhile, are just a point behind Arsenal following their 2-0 win away to Nottingham Forest on Sunday, but crucially have a game in hand over their Premier League title rivals.
Guardiola, however, believes Arsenal will not slip up in the final three games against Bournemouth, Manchester United and Everton.
When asked about Arsenal’s win over Tottenham, Guardiola replied: ‘We prefer they lose but we cannot control what they do.
‘They made a good result. There are four games left. I think they are not going to lose any points.
‘We know what exactly we have to do.’
Guardola has also warned his City players that they cannot afford to draw any of their last four Premier League games.
‘With four games left, it’s like climbing a mountain,’ said Guardiola.
‘They are very tough games. The only thing is still we extend for one more week it’s in our hands.
‘If we draw a game, we are not going to win the Premier League. It is what it is.
‘We extend this in a difficult game. Now rest a little bit and prepare the next game.’
