Manchester City is on the verge of winning the Premier League for an unprecedented fourth consecutive time this weekend. However, should they drop points against West Ham and Arsenal defeat Everton, the title will go to the Gunners for the first time since 2004. In anticipation of this crucial match, Guardiola believes that Arsenal will be a formidable title contender for years to come.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Guardiola said, “For the future? Arsenal are giving the message… and we take it. I have a few certain things in my life. I wake up in the morning and I am going to sleep in the night. The other certain[ty], with the age they [Arsenal] have, the manager they have, the way they’ve played the last two seasons – they will stay here for a long, long time. That’s why we get the message.”
City has dominated the Premier League in recent years, with only Liverpool briefly interrupting their reign in 2020. However, Arsenal finished second last season and have pushed the title race to the final day this term. City has long been the team to beat, consistently withstanding the competition. Still, the Gunners are determined to dethrone them on Sunday and in the future.
City will face West Ham in David Moyes’ final game as Hammers manager on Sunday afternoon, while Everton will visit the Emirates on the same day. A win will secure another trophy for Guardiola’s team this weekend.
