What happened
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola confirmed he will be closely watching Arsenal's critical away match against West Ham United. When asked directly if he planned to tune in, Guardiola emphatically replied, "To be honest? YES!".
Why it matters
The result has massive implications for the title race, coming shortly after Guardiola backed West Ham in a viral plea. Arsenal holds a narrow two-point lead, meaning any dropped points against the relegation-threatened Hammers would hand control back to Manchester City.
The data edge
1. Arsenal: 76 points (+41 GD, 35 matches); 2. Manchester City: 74 points (+40 GD, 35 matches).
What to watch
Arsenal must secure an away victory to maintain their title destiny, while City prepares for their upcoming fixture against Crystal Palace.
