• Manchester City are a step away from reclaiming the Premier League title
• The Citizens are currently topping the standings, two points above Arsenal
• City will play West Ham United in their final game of the 2023/24 season

The 2023/24 Premier League title is set to be decided on the final day of the season.

This is after Manchester City secured a 2-0 vital win over Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday night, May 14, to leapfrog Arsenal to the summit of the table.

City went into the tie knowing too well that a draw or a defeat would have Arsenal laying one hand on the domestic crown.

However, their victory now has them in control of the title race, as they have a two-point advantage over the Gunners going into the final round of fixtures.

Erling Haaland was the man of the moment against Tottenham, with the Norwegian striker netting twice in the second half to earn the Citizens maximum points.

According to Metro UK, the reigning champions will lift the EPL title again should they beat West Ham United at the Etihad Stadium next Sunday.

However, Guardiola is seemingly fully aware that the West Ham fixture won't be an easy one for his side.

The Spaniard has named three West Ham stars who he believes could stop City from claiming a historic fourth league title.

Speaking after the Tottenham clash, the tactician said:

"Now I’m calm but thinking [about Michail] Antonio, [Jarrod] Bowen, [James] Ward-Prowse."

"We know what we’re playing for. The tension is there, the rivalry is so good. It’s why it is difficult, we know that," he added.
