What happened: Pep Guardiola has hailed Arsenal as a 'colossal team' comparable to the peak Liverpool sides of recent years. Following Manchester City's 3-0 win over Brentford on Saturday, Guardiola admitted that the Premier League title race is no longer in his team's control as they trail the Gunners by two points.

Why it matters: Arsenal's dominant form, including an unbeaten run to the Champions League final, has forced Guardiola to acknowledge that City must rely on a slip-up from the leaders. The comments underscore the pressure on an Arsenal side that holds a narrow title edge ahead of their critical clash with West Ham today.

What to watch: Arsenal face West Ham at the London Stadium today, May 10. Guardiola playfully urged the 'Irons' to take points off the leaders to bring the title race back into City's hands before their midweek fixture against Crystal Palace.
