Pep Guardiola has pinpointed the only thing that must happen for Manchester City to lose the Premier League title.

City are part of the leading contenders for the domestic crown, with the Manchester club keen to retain the crown for a historic fourth consecutive season.

However, they are facing stiff competition from Arsenal, who are looking to conquer the English top flight for the first time in two decades.

The Gunners have been impeccable this season under Mikel Arteta, and are currently topping the Premier League charts with three games left to end the season.

Arteta's men cemented their lead at the top of the table on Sunday after they secured a 3-2 vital win over Tottenham Hotspur in the North London Derby.

The win has them leading the log with 80 points, a point ahead of second-placed City, who still have a game in hand.

Guardiola sends Man City title warning

With Arsenal showing no signs of slowing down, Guardiola has warned City will lose the title in case they draw any of their remaining matches.

Speaking after his side's 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Sunday, the Spaniard admitted any slip-up will deny his side a chance to lift the crown once again.

"If we draw a game, we are not going to win the Premier League," Premier League's X account quoted Pep as saying.

Arsenal will be back in action next Saturday with a home clash against Bournemouth.

City, meanwhile, will be facing Wolves at the Etihad Stadium.

Mikel Arteta rates Arsenal's EPL chances

Sports Brief also previously reported on Arteta rating Arsenal's title chances after they beat Tottenham 3-2 in the North London Derby on April 28.

Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz were both on target for the Gunners, with Christian Romero and Heung-Min Son scoring two consolation goals for Spurs.
