Now two points clear of second-placed Arsenal, City will look for a favour from their arch rivals Manchester United, who host the Gunners on Sunday. If Arsenal fail to win at Old Trafford, City will be crowned champions if they beat Tottenham on Tuesday or West Ham in their final game on May 19.

‘He is unbelievable’

“Gvardiol’s goals were absolutely unexpected. He is unbelievable with both feet,” Guardiola said. “We played really well and now we recover, then come back to London to play the big final [against Tottenham] to try to retain our title.” 

Regardless of Arsenal’s remaining results against United and Everton, City know two more victories will make it a remarkable six titles in the last seven seasons. “The great players enjoy playing with great pressure. These players in the last few years have been able to do it and we are again in the latter stages,” Guardiola said. 

“Our dream was to arrive in the last games with it in our hands, to play West Ham at home with the destiny belonging to us,” he said.  

City’s 16th successive win against Fulham—the longest run of consecutive victories over one team in English football history—also mathematically ended third-placed Liverpool’s title challenge.
