Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has made it clear that dropping points at Tottenham on Tuesday would effectively end their chances of winning the Premier League title.
City, aiming for a historic fourth consecutive Premier League crown, currently trail leaders Arsenal by one point but hold a crucial game in hand. A victory at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium would put them back in the driver’s seat, needing just another win at home against West Ham on the final day to secure the title.
Despite their impressive form, scoring 28 goals and conceding only 5 in their last seven league matches, Guardiola emphasizes the importance of the upcoming match.
“Past performance doesn’t guarantee anything,” he stated at the pre-match press conference. “The message is clear: we have to win this game. If we don’t, we won’t win the Premier League.”
