After beating Brentford 3-0, Manchester City and their manager Pep Guardiola are still hoping to get help from West Ham in the title race.
Goals from Jeremy Doku, Erling Holland and Omar Marmouche saw City close the gap on leaders Arsenal to two points at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.
After the match, Guardiola expressed his delight at another exciting title race and a chance to achieve a treble, unlike last season, which ended with a 13-point lead over Liverpool.
He said: “I would love to be here again. We’ll at least finish second this season, so I’m happy about that. I didn’t like last season and the moment when we were fighting to qualify for the Champions League was very difficult.”
“But the League Cup is within our reach and the FA Cup final at Wembley is the most beautiful day of the season and I love it.”
Referring to the brilliant performance of Doku, who scored 3 goals in the last two games, he said: “He’s taken a step forward this season and that’s a step that players need to take to perform better and that confidence goes to him alone.”
“Good teams always need frontline players. not just Holland, attacking midfielders and wingers need to make these moves to win matches.”
Pep Guardiola ended his press conference by chanting “Come on iron” as he motivated West Ham against Arsenal.
With leaders Arsenal visiting West Ham on Sunday, Guardiola will need manager Nuno Espirito Santo’s side, especially as a 3-3 draw with Everton in the last round left their fate in the hands of their rivals and rivals.
