Manchester City midfielder Rodri has said that it will be 'impossible' to catch leaders Arsenal should they maintain their first half of the season form.
Arsenal lead City in the table by five points ahead of their first Premier League meeting of the season at the Emirates on Wednesday night. The reigning champions defeated the league leaders in the FA Cup at the end of last month.
Rodri, 26, said that he and his team-mates remain 'calm' over their prospects, but appeared to admit that there was little they could do should Arsenal's impressive first half of the season stretch into the final months.
