Hope for Arsenal? Pep Guardiola identifies three West Ham players who could disrupt Manchester City’s title celebrations.
Pep Guardiola quickly focused on West Ham and three specific players after Manchester City’s 2-0 victory over Tottenham, which moved them to the top of the Premier League just before the final day. With City now two points ahead of Arsenal, they are close to securing a historic fourth Premier League title.
If City beats West Ham at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday, they will win the league again. Meanwhile, Arsenal needs to beat Everton and hope West Ham can help them end their 20-year title drought.
Despite City extending their unbeaten Premier League run to 22 games with their win over Spurs, it would be a significant surprise if they faltered against mid-table West Ham in David Moyes’ final game as manager.
Guardiola anticipates a challenging match against West Ham and mentioned three players who might pose a threat to his team at the Etihad. Reflecting on the tough game against Spurs, Guardiola remarked on their pride and intensity, noting that it was a difficult match. He acknowledged that Spurs could become formidable under their current manager and stressed the importance of the upcoming final game, comparing it to the pressure of serving to win Wimbledon in tennis. He also recalled past decisive moments, like Sergio Aguero’s last-minute goal against QPR, indicating the unpredictable nature of such crucial matches.
