Manager Pep Guardiola said all Manchester City can do is stay alive and hope for an Arsenal slip-up in the English Premier League title race after a 3-0 win against Crystal Palace on Wednesday.

Antoine Semenyo and Omar Marmoush both struck from Phil Foden passes in the first-half before Savinho added a late third. City (77 points) trail leaders Arsenal by two points, with two games to go.

"We try to be alive until the next [EPL game], which is Bournemouth. But [the title] depends on them [Arsenal]. If they win two games, then there's nothing we can do. All we can do is be in there [the title conversation] just in case [they stumble]," said Guardiola, whose team will shift their attention towards this weekend's FA Cup final against Chelsea.
