Pep Guardiola, Manchester City’s manager, will motivate his team by highlighting their skills and speaking about what they need to do to overcome West Ham on Sunday, aiding them in securing an unprecedented fourth consecutive title. Entering the final matchday with a two-point advantage over Arsenal, who faces Everton at home, Guardiola intends to rally his team during Friday’s preparations. Guardiola, however, stopped short of detailing if this would involve a video session.
Guardiola anticipates a firm resolve from David Moyes, who manages his final game for West Ham, to make his exit remarkable. He looks back at previous final-days when City, overcoming imminent defeats, triumphed dramatically to clinch the top spot. Instances include their comeback from a 2-0 deficit to Aston Villa two seasons prior and a similar situation in 2012 against QPR, courtesy of last-minute goals from Edin Dzeko and Sergio Agüero.
Guardiola expressed readiness for a challenging match, highlighting that West Ham’s squad would be primed to defeat them, similar to the scenarios faced with Aston Villa and QPR. He urged the squad and supporters to get behind the team and stay focused only on the victory over West Ham.
