Manchester City’s 3-0 win over Brentford moved them within two points of the league leaders with just three matches remaining, keeping pressure firmly on Mikel Arteta’s side.
Arsenal still control their own destiny. But Guardiola believes City’s form and mentality mean the race is far from over.
“It’s not in our hands now.”
“They have to drop points, but all we can do is win again.”
City face Crystal Palace next before closing the season against Bournemouth and Aston Villa, while also preparing for an FA Cup final against Chelsea.
Guardiola admitted the schedule is brutal, but insisted his players are embracing the pressure.
“Our calendar is really demanding.”
“But we try to do our job and see what happens.”
After a frustrating previous campaign, when City finished third after a late recovery, Guardiola admitted he is enjoying being back in a genuine title fight.
“I love to be here again.”
“I’m so happy.”
With the Carabao Cup already secured and Wembley still to come, City are chasing another dramatic finish. And if Arsenal slip, Guardiola has made one thing clear.
Manchester City are ready.
