What happened: Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola confirmed he will be watching Arsenal's pivotal Matchweek 36 trip to West Ham on Sunday. This follows a viral moment where Guardiola backed the "Irons" to do his side a favor in the closing stages of the title race.

Why it matters: Arsenal currently lead Manchester City by two points with three games remaining, following City's 3-0 victory over Brentford on Saturday. The Gunners must win at the London Stadium to maintain control of their destiny as they seek to end a 22-year league title drought.

By the numbers: Standings: 1. Arsenal (76 pts, +41 GD), 2. Man City (74 pts, +40 GD). Arsenal has three matches remaining (West Ham, Burnley, Crystal Palace); Man City has three (Crystal Palace, Bournemouth, Aston Villa).

What to watch: Arsenal must secure a victory today to keep the title race in their hands before hosting Burnley on May 18.
