What happened: Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola confirmed he will watch Arsenal’s crucial fixture against West Ham on Sunday. The admission follows City’s 3-0 win over Brentford on Saturday, a result that puts intense pressure on the league-leading Gunners.
Why it matters: The Premier League title race has narrowed to a two-point margin with only three matches remaining. Guardiola has previously backed West Ham with an 'Irons' salute, as a Hammers victory would significantly boost City’s chances of overtaking Arsenal.
By the numbers: Arsenal (76 pts) holds a slim lead over Manchester City (74 pts) through 35 matches. West Ham currently sits 18th in the table with 36 points, fighting for survival as they trail 17th-place Tottenham by a single point.
What to watch: Arsenal faces West Ham at the London Stadium today, needing a win to restore their five-point cushion at the top of the table.
