Pep Guardiola 2.webp
The Digest:

Pep Guardiola has warned his Manchester City players that the Premier League title race will be over if they fail to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. With Arsenal's slip-up against Bournemouth tightening the race, Guardiola said: "Talking about Arsenal, if you don't win at Stamford Bridge, maybe we don't need to make the press conference before Arsenal because it'll be over." He added that the City must win all eight remaining matches to retain the title.

Key Points:
  • Guardiola said there is "no margin for error" in the final stretch.
  • He rejected the idea that past success guarantees future results.
  • City are currently second in the Premier League table.
  • The manager insisted: "Not one draw, no. Forget about it."
  • Arsenal's loss to Bournemouth has given City an opening.
