Pep Guardiola has warned Manchester City cannot drop any points if they are to secure a historic fourth successive Premier League as he expects Arsenal to win their remaining matches after proving their mettle by defeating Spurs on Sunday. Josko Gvardiol and Erling Haaland edged City past Nottingham Forest to leave them a point behind top spot but crucially with a game in hand.

“We prefer they lose, we cannot control what they do,” Guardiola said of Arsenal. “There are four games left, I don’t think they are going to lose any points, so we know exactly what we have to do.”
