Guardiola says title race out of City's hands if Arsenal win remaining two games
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola said the Premier League title race is effectively out of their hands if Arsenal win their two remaining fixtures, despite a 3-0 win over Crystal Palace that cut the deficit to two points. City now trail Arsenal with two games each left: City face Bournemouth and Aston Villa, while Arsenal play Burnley and Palace. City’s next match is the FA Cup final against Chelsea on Saturday.
For Nigerian fans tracking the EPL, the outcome decides which club earns bragging rights and may influence match‑day plans, especially with the FA Cup final adding a major trophy to the weekend’s schedule. Knowing which fixtures are decisive helps supporters prioritize viewing or betting decisions.
If Arsenal win both games, City cannot overtake them regardless of their own results. Conversely, any slip by Arsenal opens the door for City to claim the title with victories over Bournemouth and Aston Villa. The FA Cup final offers City a chance to salvage silverware even if the league slips away.
