What happened: Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola confirmed he will be watching Arsenal's match against West Ham on Sunday. The announcement comes after City closed the gap to two points following their 3-0 victory over Brentford on Saturday.

Why it matters: The result at the London Stadium is critical for the Premier League title race as Arsenal hold a narrow lead with three matches remaining. This follows Guardiola's recent public backing of West Ham as he hopes for an upset to shift momentum back to Manchester.

By the numbers: Arsenal (76 points) currently lead Manchester City (74 points) in the standings. The Gunners are 1/2 favorites to win, while 18th-placed West Ham are 17/4 underdogs.

What to watch: Arsenal kick off at 4:30 PM BST today knowing a win is essential to maintain their advantage. Manchester City will then face Crystal Palace in their next fixture on May 16.
