Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola provided a prediction prior to of Sunday's last match against West Ham. The 53-year-old could go down as the first manager to win four consecutive Premier League titles this coming Sunday, with Manchester City needing a win against West Ham at the Etihad Stadium to seal their sixth crown in seven years.
Manchester City's 0-2 victory against Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday evening, thanks to Erling Haaland's second-half brace and an array of miraculous saves from Stefan Ortega, puts them within three points of additional silverware success. West Ham have not defeated Manchester City since September 2015, and City remain unbeaten in their last 18 meetings with West Ham, with one notable exception of a Carabao Cup penalty shootout in October 2021.
David Moyes' term as head coach at the London Stadium will come to an end on Sunday, as the Scotsman has confirmed his intention to step down from the east London club after the conclusion of the current season.Manchester City defeated the Hammers on the last day of 2014 to win their second Premier League title, with strikes from Samir Nasri and Vincent Kompany under Manuel Pellegrini's management.
Arsenal will visit Everton at the Emirates Stadium on the same day as Manchester City will face West Ham United, with two points separating the two teams at the top of the league but the Gunners having a better goal difference.
Pep Guardiola’s bold prediction ahead of the final Premier League game of the season
Pep Guardiola, on the other hand, anticipates a more tough afternoon, with Sunday's match potentially resembling the thrilling 3-2 comeback triumph against Aston Villa in May 2022.
He said, “We’d like to be 3-0 up after 10 minutes [vs West Ham] but it will not happen. I have a feeling it will be like Aston Villa [in 2022]. We are ready,” said the Catalan. If you think Everton are going to do something [against Arsenal], forget about it.”
