Feeling the pressure yet, Arsenal? Man City simply...
Key takeaways
- If Arteta wants to win the Premier League title, Guardiola is making him earn it.
- Win their remaining games at home to Burnley next Monday and away at Palace on the final day of the season and there is nothing that City can do about it.
- But if Arsenal were hoping for some breathing space in their title pursuit, even the chance to wrap it up against already-relegated Burnley next week, City denied them that luxury by beating Palace at the Etihad Stadium.
Why this matters: a sports story that could shift standings, legacies, or fan conversations.
If Arteta wants to win the Premier League title, Guardiola is making him earn it.
Even though he chose to start with Erling Haaland, Jérémy Doku and Rayan Cherki on the substitutes' bench in Wednesday's game against Crystal Palace -- all three were rested ahead of Saturday's FA Cup final against Chelsea -- Guardiola still had enough firepower for his team to seal a 3-0 win against Oliver Glasner's team.
City are still two points behind the Gunners, with each side having just two games left to play in the final week of the season, but this victory means they are ready and waiting to pounce if Arsenal fail to win their remaining fixtures.
