Arsenal avoid late scare in North London derby to keep title hopes alive
Arsenal made a huge statement in the North London derby against Tottenham as they beat Spurs in their backyard.
Guardiola's Warning
"We prefer they lose, we cannot control what they do," Guardiola said of Arsenal, per the Guardian. "There are four games left, I don’t think they are going to lose any points, so we know exactly what we have to do."
City responded to Arsenal's win with a hard-fought victory against Nottingham Forest, with goals from Josko Gvardiol and Erling Haaland securing the win. Despite Forest's disciplined defensive display, City managed to secure the crucial three points.
Guardiola's Assessment
"It was a less-than-vintage City performance in Nottingham," Guardiola admitted. "We knew the circumstances when we arrived here, so we knew how the game would happen. We were so lucky that the pitch was so dry and, because with the chances they had, on better pitch conditions they would have scored, we were incredibly fortunate for that."

City's win against Forest marked their fifth consecutive victory in the Premier League, putting them in a strong position in the title race. However, Guardiola might have to cope without his first-choice goalkeeper, Ederson, for the remaining fixtures after he sustained a shoulder injury.
Ederson's Injury
"It doesn’t look good," Guardiola said. "We will see tomorrow with the doctor."
City's upcoming fixtures include home games against Wolves and West Ham, with trips to Fulham and Tottenham in between. Meanwhile, Arsenal faces Bournemouth, Manchester United, and Everton, setting up an intense race for the Premier League title.
