Pep – City ‘cannot deny’ the importance of Arsenal’s game
Manchester City host Arsenal in a Premier League title decider tonight at the Etihad Stadium.
The champions are five points behind the Gunners, but Pep Guardiola’s side have two games to go, meaning both teams are still in control of their own destiny in the title race.
More importance has been given to tonight’s result for Arsenal after recent draws against West Ham and Southampton. The Gunners now need to defeat City to ensure they retain top spot, as anything less could see them outclassed by their title rivals.
Meanwhile, City kept their treble quest alive with a dominating FA Cup semi-final win over Sheffield United at the weekend. They are used to playing big games back-to-back and will return to league action full of confidence tonight.
