Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola has issued a Premier League title warning to rivals Arsenal before their game against West Ham.<\/p>\n
After dropping points in a thrilling 3-3 draw against Everton, Man City<\/strong> returned to winning ways on Saturday evening by beating Brentford 3-0 at the Etihad.<\/p>\n This result puts pressure on Arsenal<\/strong>who travel to face relegation candidates West Ham on Sunday afternoon. A win for the Gunners would leave them five points clear of Man City, who still have a game in hand.<\/p>\n So, everyone associated with Man City will be praying for West Ham to do them a favour this weekend, and Guardiola issued a lighthearted \u201ccome on you Irons\u201d rallying cry during his press conference after the win against Brentford.<\/p>\n And Guardiola has also warned Arsenal that \u201cwe will do our job\u201d by picking up maximum points from their remaining games and \u201cwait\u201d for Arsenal to respond.<\/p>\n \u201cBefore Everton it was in our hands but now it is not, but what we have to do is our job,\u201d Guardiola told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n READ: \u2018Pep knows it\u2019s on\u2019 as \u2018flying\u2019 Doku fires \u2018champions\u2019 Man City to win over Brentford \u201cWe didn\u2019t do it perfectly with Everton it was tough. But today we came back and on Wednesday (we play) Crystal Palace, which is always difficult because they have extraordinary players and managers.<\/p>\n \u201cBut we will do our job and wait.\u201d<\/p>\n And when asked if his side still has the spirit to last the duration in the title race, Guardiola added: \u201cEverton was the real proof, 3-1 down and emotions.<\/p>\n \u201cThe second half we give away. It happened last season many times, now we\u2019re more solid but we still give away.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s football, it happens, it\u2019s how you react. I\u2019m really pleased for the way we have done it.\u201d<\/p>\n READ MORE: The ridiculous stats of Erling Haaland as he overtakes Heskey and Giggs for Premier League goals Guardiola has also reserved special praise for Man City winger Jeremy Doku, who has been his side\u2019s best performer in recent weeks.<\/p>\n \u201cThis season he made an incredible step forward, which players must do to try to get better and better,\u201d Guardiola said of Doku.<\/p>\n \u201cHe scored a goal with his right foot against Everton (to make it) 3-3, but before that the first goal was his left.<\/p>\n \u201cNow I have the feeling that if he goes there they will try to block shots and not leave the space to do it and now he has to be clever to shoot or make an extra pass, and another player will be free.<\/p>\n \u201cEveryone knows it, it\u2019s not necessary to tell you that he made an incredible step. He said, \u2018I\u2019m Jeremy Doku and I\u2019m going to win games\u2019.
