Pep Guardiola said Manchester City must bounce back against Brentford on Saturday to put pressure back on Arsenal in the English Premier League title race.
City's dramatic 3-3 draw against Everton on Monday handed the destiny of the title to the Gunners. Arsenal (76 points) are five points clear with three games to play, while second-placed City have four matches remaining.

Victory for Guardiola's men at the Etihad against Champions League hopefuls Brentford would cut the gap at the top for at least 24 hours before Arsenal visit West Ham, but Guardiola knows it will be easier said than done.
"Brentford are so good at what they do and it is difficult to challenge them, but at the same time, with four games left, we need to go for it. [We need to] put pressure on Arsenal [by] winning our games. That's all we can do," said Guardiola at his pre-match press conference on Friday.
