Pep Guardiola urges Man City to make sure they take title fight to final day

Pep Guardiola is determined to take the title race to the final game of the season.

Guardiola’s Manchester City have two games of their Premier League campaign remaining and need favours from elsewhere if they are to overhaul leaders Arsenal.

Yet the City manager refuses to concede the fight and is focused solely on ensuring the battle goes down to the wire.

Guardiola said: “The important thing is to arrive at the end with options.

“All we want is to be with our people in the last game to try to fight. To extend for these last four or five days what we have to do is win at Bournemouth.”

It has been a busy spell for City and the club have been frustrated by the scheduling of both this rearranged game against Bournemouth and last week’s clash with Crystal Palace.

Yet they will head to the south coast in buoyant mood after beating Chelsea in Saturday’s FA Cup final to secure their second trophy of the season.

Guardiola said: “It’s a different competition but it’s better to travel to Bournemouth with the feeling that we won the FA Cup than the opposite.

“It should have not happened what happened, so we have to go to Bournemouth to get the result.”
