9 points or the title goes to Arsenal — Pep Guardiola sends warning to Man City squad

Guardiola has called on his team to collect maximum points from their remaining 3 Premier League games, to avoid losing the league title to a relentless Arsenal side.

Erling Haaland inspired a 5-1 win against Wolves, on Saturday evening leaving the champions just one point behind Arsenal, who also won at home, 3-0 against Bournemouth.

City have three games left while the Gunners have just two. On top of that, Arsenal's goal difference is six goals better than City's.

When asked by Sky Sports if their big win over Wolves sent a message to their title rival, Guardiola replied: “The message is not about that, Arsenal also sent a message.“He (Arteta) wins the games and they win the games comfortably.

“But yes, one week left, two for the FA Cup, but the Premier League has one week left and three games.

“We have to take nine points, otherwise Arsenal will win the title and hopefully, we can come back here in a few days and have the chance against West Ham to come here and win the title.”
