Following a commanding 3-0 victory over Brentford, Pep Guardiola’s squad is breathing down Arsenal’s neck. To keep their title aspirations alive, Guardiola is now pinning his hopes on West Ham United to do them a favor by defeating Arsenal.

In the match at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday, goals from Jérémy Doku, Erling Haaland, and Omar Marmoush secured a vital win for City. This victory narrowed the gap to league leaders Arsenal to just two points, intensifying the title chase.

With Arsenal scheduled to play away at West Ham on Sunday, Guardiola openly expressed his desire for a West Ham victory. “Come on you Irons!” he exclaimed in his post-match press conference, a clear plea for the London club to help City in their quest for the title by taking points from Arsenal.

Addressing the title race, the City manager acknowledged the formidable challenge posed by Arsenal. “We are competing against a team that reached the Champions League final without losing a single match and has been at the top of the league for the entire season,” he stated. He further added, “Now, nothing is in our hands. It depends on them dropping points. But I am enjoying it. It feels great to be in the title race again.”

Despite the win against Brentford, City faces a challenging fixture list ahead, with upcoming matches against Crystal Palace, Bournemouth, and Aston Villa. Arsenal, on the other hand, will play West Ham, Burnley, and Crystal Palace.
