Guardiola Backs West Ham in Viral Title Race Plea
via @FabrizioRomano

What happened

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola made a public display of support for West Ham United following his post-match press conference on Sunday. Leaving the room, Guardiola crossed his arms in the traditional "Hammers" gesture and shouted "COME ON YOU IRONS!" to the gathered media.

Why it matters

The gesture comes as Pep Guardiola and Manchester City look to put pressure on Arsenal. With City trailing by just two points, any slip-up by the Gunners at the London Stadium would put the title back in City's hands with three matchweeks remaining.

The data edge

Standings: 1. Arsenal (76 pts, 35 GP), 2. Man City (74 pts, 35 GP). Today's fixture: Arsenal at West Ham (16:30 BST). Relegation: West Ham sits 18th, one point from safety.

What to watch

Arsenal faces West Ham at the London Stadium today; a win would extend their lead at the top to five points.
