The Premier League title holder, "Manchester City," continues to apply pressure on the leader "Arsenal." However, their manager, Spanish coach Pep Guardiola, stated, "There is still a lot of effort and hard work ahead for my team in the pursuit of a fourth consecutive title." In response to a question about City's chances of winning the title this season, Guardiola said, "It is too early to ask this question. Ask me this question when we are at the top of the standings before the last match of the season."
The Spanish coach added, "But with four matches remaining, it seems we still have to climb a steep mountain. The matter is in our hands. If we draw a match, we will not win the Premier League title." Regarding their London rivals, Guardiola said, "We hope they lose, but we have no control over what they do. Yes, there are four matches remaining. I don't think they will drop any points, and we know exactly what we need to do."
Thanks to goals from Josko Gvardiol and Erling Haaland, one in each half, Guardiola's team has raised their points total to 79 from 34 matches, while Arsenal has 80 points from 35 matches.
