What happened: Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola confirmed he will be watching Arsenal's crucial trip to West Ham on Sunday. The Gunners currently hold a narrow two-point lead over City with three games remaining in the season. Guardiola's admission follows a week of intense title-race gamesmanship.
Why it matters: The result at the London Stadium directly impacts the title race, where City trails by just two points. Guardiola's interest follows his viral Title Race Plea where he publicly rallied West Ham to take points off Arsenal. A slip-up today would allow the defending champions to reclaim the top spot.
By the numbers: Arsenal (76 pts) leads City (74 pts) with three games left in the 2025-26 campaign. Betting lines favor an Arsenal win (8/15) over relegation-threatened West Ham (9/2). Viktor Gyökeres is the favorite to score first at +370.
What to watch: Arsenal kicks off against West Ham at 16:30 GMT today in a pivotal London derby.
