Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has warned his players that anything can happen in the remaining months of Premier League title race. After recent inconsistences, both Arsenal and City secured victories at the weekend to keep their respective title bids on track.
The Gunners were able to overcome Leicester through a single Gabriel Martinelli goal at the start of the second half, while a few hours later Guardiola watched his side hit four past Bournemouth in just over 50 minutes. Fatigue was considered a possibility for City having played their Champions League last-16 first leg in Germany against RB Leipzig on Wednesday, but City were at their ruthless best on the south coast.
Midweek matches will undoubtedly start to play a factor soon as the season gets closer to its conclusion. Topping their Europa League group meant the Gunners avoided the competition's knockout play-off round but their last-16 clash has now been set. Mikel Arteta's men are set to travel to Portugal to face Sporting CP on March 9, with the second leg at Emirates Stadium to be played the following week.
