Guardiola admits title race is over if Arsenal beat Man City Pep Guardiola admits that the Premier League title race is over if Man City lose to Arsenal this weekend. The top two teams in the division meet at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday for a potentially season-defining clash. Six points separate City from the leaders with six weeks of the campaign remaining, but they can go level by beating the Gunners and following it up with victory over Burnley in midweek.

Crystal Palace and Brentford. There are still many things to do. ” Read – Nico O’Reilly injury update ahead of Man City vs Arsenal title decider Guardiola also admitted that he thought the title was out of reach for City following consecutive draws with Nottingham Forest and West Ham United in March, but insisted that the race is never over until it’s over.
