Lose to Arsenal and the Title Race Is Over, Guardiola Warns
Manchester City face a make-or-break showdown with league leaders Arsenal at the Etihad this weekend. Arsenal sit six points clear, but City have a game in hand. Pep Guardiola insisted a loss would effectively end City’s bid for a fourth straight Premier League crown. He pointed out that Arsenal’s stumble at Bournemouth gives City a lifeline if they can get the result on Sunday. The teams drew 1-1 at the Emirates earlier this season, though City edged Arsenal 2-0 in last month’s Carabao Cup final. City arrive in strong form, winning their last three matches and keeping clean sheets while scoring nine goals. A City victory would narrow Arsenal’s lead to three points with six games left. A defeat, Guardiola warns, would hand Arsenal an almost unassailable nine-point gap.
