Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said he has been provoked into a more intense rivalry with Arsenal.
This follows their 2-2 draw in the Premier League at Etihad Stadium last weekend.
After the game, Citys duo of John Stones and Kyle Walker claimed the Gunners used the dark arts while trying to protect their 2-1 half-time lead.
Arsenal defender Gabriel also said they would be waiting for the champions visit to the Emirates.
Speaking on Friday, Guardiola said: You want a war? Now we war.
