Pep Guardiola has labelled Manchester City’s upcoming Premier League clash against title rivals Arsenal at the Etihad on March 31 as a ‘final’.
Both sides are locked in a tense title race along with fellow challengers Liverpool with just 10 top-flight fixtures remaining.
Arsenal currently sit top of the table on 64 points – ahead of second-placed Liverpool on goal difference – while City find themselves third on 63 points.
City have lifted five of the last six Premier League trophies and Arsenal pushed them all the way last term before a late capitulation saw the Gunners miss out.
Arsenal beat City on penalties to lift the Community Shield in August and also defeated Guardiola’s side 1-0 when they met at the Emirates in October.
But Arsenal lost 4-1 when they last played at the Etihad in April and Guardiola will be hoping his side can produce another win in front of their home fans.
‘We have a final against Arsenal,’ Guardiola said when quizzed about the upcoming showdown.
