Recalling what Pep Guardiola said about Sam Allardyce who may give Arsenal lifeline in title race

Sam Allardyce has officially taken charge of Leeds United as they fight against relegation till the end of the season.

Big Sam is known for his penchant for saving teams from crisis and steadying the ship which is exactly what Leeds need right now.

Leeds are level on points with Nottingham Forest, who are in 18th place, but are ahead on goal difference.

And Manchester City welcome Leeds to the Etihad this weekend, with all eyes on Allardyce in the driver's seat.

Assuming Leeds are able to get Man City to drop points, that would give Arsenal a much-needed advantage in the Premier League title race.

Speaking back in 2021, Pep Guardiola shared some words of praise for Big Sam.

Pep told reporters: "Sam Allardyce is a genius to take these teams when everyone believes it is over and get results.

"So it will happen once, twice, three times in case you're lucky but that's not the case.

"He's done it, I don't know how many times."
