Man City must win to keep Pressure on Arsenal : Pep Guardiola

Pep Guardiola has stated that Manchester City must secure a victory against Brentford this Saturday to keep the pressure on Arsenal in the Premier League title race.  A dramatic 3-3 draw at Everton on Monday shifted control of the title to the Gunners, who currently hold a five-point lead with three games left to play, while City has four matches remaining. Victory at the Etihad would temporarily reduce the gap to two points before Arsenals visit to West Ham. During his pre-match press conference on Friday, Guardiola was clear about the objective: Put pressure on Arsenal winning our games. Thats all we have to do. All we can do.  Guardiola also took time to praise the development of Jeremy Doku, whose last-minute strike against Everton salvaged a crucial point. The Belgian winger has now scored four goals in his last five appearances, reaching a personal best of seven goals this season.  Im so glad, Guardiola remarked. Not just the goals, the assists, also contributing defensively. Jeremy has been amazing this season. While the men's title race remains tight, Guardiola celebrated the Manchester City Womens team for their first Womens Super League title in a decade, ending Chelseas six-year period of dominance.  He described the growth of women's football as the "biggest step world football has made in the last decade," adding, You never could imagine the impact on the girls, the teenagers, that now say I want to play football. Looking ahead to Saturday, City received a fitness boost with Guardiola expressing hope that Rodri could return from injury, while defenders Ruben Dias and Josko Gvardiol are also nearing full fitness. The post Man City must win to keep Pressure on Arsenal : Pep Guardiola appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
