Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has said that he does not envy Manchester City's squad as he prepares for Saturday's Premier League visit to the Etihad Stadium, according to reports.

According to the BBC, City manager Manuel Pellegrini spent more than 90m pounds on five players during the summer and said in August that he had the division's strongest squad.

However, Arsenal lead the Premier League by five points going into the weekend, the report said.

Wenger said that City have a strong squad and he cannot deny that but looking at his own squad, he does not envy them.

He added that what was important was how the team played together, and that Arsenal had done very well since the start of the season.
