What happened
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola ended his post-match press conference by shouting "COME ON YOU IRONS!" and performing West Ham's signature crossed-arms gesture. The display followed City's 3-0 victory over Brentford, which closed the gap at the top of the Premier League table.
Why it matters
The gesture is a direct appeal to West Ham, who host league leaders Arsenal at the London Stadium later today. With the title race entering its final matches, Guardiola is relying on the Hammers to take points off the Gunners to restore City's control over their own destiny.
The data edge
Arsenal (76 pts) leads Manchester City (74 pts) by two points with three games remaining. West Ham enters today's match in 18th place and is listed as a 17/4 underdog against Arsenal (1/2).
What to watch
West Ham faces Arsenal at 4:30 PM BST today. A West Ham victory or draw would allow Manchester City to reclaim the top spot if they win their remaining fixtures.
