Guardiola defends Arsenal's title chances despite Scholes criticism
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has defended Arsenal's right to win the Premier League despite Paul Scholes calling them "the worst team to ever win the title". The Gunners have scored 24 goals from set-pieces (throw-ins, corners, free-kicks) – the highest in the league. Guardiola argues managers should use any style to win games, contrasting City's 84.2% open-play goals with Arsenal's 58.6%. Scholes claims the league's quality is poor if Arsenal win. The debate centers on whether Arsenal's set-piece reliance makes them unworthy champions.
