Pep Guardiola Makes Man City Focus Clear with 'Newcastle, Newcastle, Newcastle' Reply

Manchester City is five points behind Arsenal with a game in hand and must win all 12 remaining matches to claim the Premier League title, Guardiola said.

  • Pep Guardiola told reporters on Feb 20 that he `could not care less` about Arsenal's stumble and is focused on Newcastle United's visit on Feb 21.
  • Arsenal's recent results have included draws of 1-1 with Brentford and 2-2 at Wolves, with a keeper-defender mix-up involving David Raya and Gabriel Magalhaes allowing Tom Edozie's stoppage-time equaliser.
  • Guardiola emphasised a match-by-match mindset, saying he `didn't speak one second` about the table with his players and described the season run-in as `12 games left, it's an eternity`.
  • A City victory would reduce the gap to two points before the Gunners face Tottenham on Feb 22, and City has a game in hand.
  • Looking further ahead, City will host Arsenal in April and, if they win all remaining 12 matches, would secure the title under the scenario Guardiola has seen before.
