Manchester City won easily Fulham 4-0 this Saturday (11) and provisionally took the lead in the English Championship, increasing the pressure on Arsenal (2nd), who on Sunday visit Manchester United for the 37th round.
With the result, City achieved their seventh consecutive victory and placed themselves two points ahead of the Gunners. On Tuesday, the ‘Citizens’ will play a late game against Tottenham (5th), which could be decisive for an unprecedented fourth consecutive title in the history of the championship.
“We played very well, now we have to recover and play in the grand ‘final’ to try to retain our title”, declared Guardiola about the game against the ‘Spurs’.
“Our dream was to reach the last games depending on ourselves, to play against West Hamn at home with our destiny in our hands,” added the coach.
In addition to the three points, the victory over Fulham is important, as it allows the ‘Citizens’ to reduce the difference in goal difference in relation to Arsenal, a criterion that could decide the championship in the event of a tie on points.
