Man City know ‘it’s win or Arsenal will be champions’ of the Premier League

The Premier League title comes down to the final day on Sunday when Manchester City and Arsenal will hope to be crowned.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola expects another nail-biting finale to the Premier League season, similar to the 2021-22 campaign where his club nearly lost the title on the final day before late goals secured the trophy.
City are two points ahead of Arsenal heading into Sunday’s final round of fixtures and can secure a fourth title in as many seasons if they beat West Ham United at home.
Guardiola’s side pipped Liverpool to the title by one point in May 2022, but City made things difficult for themselves when they went 2-0 down to Aston Villa at home before eventually winning 3-2 to deny the Merseyside club the crown.
“I have the feeling it will be [like] Aston Villa again. We would like to be 3-0 up after 10 minutes, but it’s not going to happen. I’ve seen enough [of West Ham’s matches],” Guardiola said.
“I’m ready for it to be a tough, tough game. I want to put in the minds of my players, ‘Look at Tottenham, how they fight for every ball, the aggression they had.’ I didn’t have any doubts about that.
