Spanish coach Josep Guardiola, coach of Manchester City, said that he is preparing his players to finish the current season of the English Football League on the podium again. The British news agency (BA Media) reported that the league champions can secure the title for the fourth time in a row, and the sixth in seven seasons, if they succeed in beating West Ham in the final round of the tournament at the Etihad Stadium the day after tomorrow, Sunday.
If Manchester City stumbles, this will give Arsenal the opportunity to win the title in the last moments, as the latter enters into a confrontation with Everton, with it occupying second place, two points behind Everton. Guardiola said: “If you asked all the English Premier League clubs at the beginning of the season, what is the best position they could occupy at the end of the league, that would be our position, that’s for sure.”
He added: “There is still one match and our fate is in our hands. We need to win in order to become champions. Everyone wishes to be in our place.” Guardiola continued: “But it will not be easy. It is win or win, otherwise Arsenal will become the league champion. There is nothing more complicated than that.”
