Pep Guardiola believes Manchester City’s Premier League title challenge ‘will be over’ if they fail to beat resurgent West Ham on Saturday.
City could kick off at the London Stadium 10 points behind leaders Arsenal should the Gunners beat Everton earlier in the day, and must bounce back from the disappointment of a 0-3 Champions League drubbing at the hands of Real Madrid on Wednesday. “The English Premier League always is the most difficult one [title to win] and still we are there, knowing that if we drop points, it’ll be over,” said Guardiola on Friday.
The City boss has won six EPL titles in his nine previous seasons in England. But his team were well off the pace last season, finishing 13 points behind champions Liverpool, in third spot. “It is a pleasure to be here. Last season we could not live that in this stage, so it’s nice. Always I have said, since I arrived [in England], in the last 10 games, every team plays for something — for relegation, to be champions etc. So now there are no second chances,” the Spanish manager added.
