What happened: Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola confirmed he will be watching Arsenal's crucial match against West Ham on Sunday. Following City's 3-0 win over Brentford on Saturday, the defending champions sit just two points behind the Gunners with three games remaining.

Why it matters: The outcome at the London Stadium carries massive implications for the title race as Arsenal looks to restore a five-point cushion. For West Ham, currently 18th in the relegation zone, the match is equally vital for their survival as they trail safety by a single point.

By the numbers: Arsenal (76 pts) leads City (74 pts) by two points entering Sunday. Betting odds favor the Gunners at 1/2, while the Hammers are 7/2 underdogs. Erling Haaland leads the Golden Boot race with 26 goals after scoring against Brentford.

What to watch: Kick-off is scheduled for 4:30 PM BST at the London Stadium. City will face Crystal Palace on Wednesday in their final game in hand as they look to overtake Mikel Arteta's side.
