Pep Guardiola has declared Manchester City's Premier League title hopes will be 'over' if they fail to beat West Ham on Saturday. The Etihad Stadium side, second in the table, sit seven points behind leaders Arsenal but have a game in hand. With nine matches remaining, Guardiola is focused solely on the immediate challenge ahead.

City's upcoming clash with Arsenal on 19 April could prove decisive, but Guardiola insists his team cannot afford to look past West Ham. The London Stadium hosts face a relegation battle, sitting in the drop zone on goal difference. Despite recent improved form with just one loss in five games, Guardiola knows his side must deliver.

The Spaniard emphasized the high stakes, noting every team fights for something in the final stretch - whether avoiding relegation, European qualification, or the title itself. City's 3-0 Champions League defeat to Real Madrid lingers, but Guardiola refuses to dwell on it, focusing instead on the Premier League's relentless demands.
